I think it might be helpful to consult with a family law attorney
before you get to that point. A competent attorney would be able to advise you on issues you may not have even considered. The good news is, there are plenty of attorneys that don't charge for an initial consultation.
And, if you can find one, I highly recommend going with a "certified specialist."

I used to be an administrator for the California State Bar Legal Specialization program, working with family law and taxation law attorneys. If someone can make it through the certification process (
very lengthy and difficult to achieve), you can be assured that the certified attorney is the best of the best. Honest, ethical, experienced, and wise.
Not every state has this program, but the National Board Of Trial Advocacy also certifies attorneys in specific areas of law. I see that there is one such certified family law attorney in Kansas . . .

I hope this helps.
