It shouldn't be about money, that's just one small aspect of a divorce.

5 grand..lol
It cost me over 17 grand on 2 lawyers, over 30 grand in spousal support over 18 months only to end up giving her the house with little mortgage left on it.
If lawyers see equity their eyes light up and they'll drag it on and on till someone gives and they get a good chunk. The second lawyer I hired (first one was an idiot) who I since became friends with flat out admitted that's the way it works with the high priced divorce lawyers.
Dumbest thing you can do is get lawyers involved when you can hire an arbitrator for $1000.00 who will split things up fairly and do your own mutual divorce for $300.00.
The toughest part is getting the wife to agree with no lawyers, the women are protected far to much in this province and they know it.
