Thought that this article my buddy sent me the other day had some merit regarding this topic: https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/30/magaz...llion.html
TLDR: Guy worth 9 figures spent a shit-ton of money on lawyers, myriad trusts offshore corps to protect his assets from his ex wife... and it still looks like he's going to eventually get taken to the cleaners in the divorce.
Even though it sounds flippant, not getting married really is the best way to avoid getting divorce raped. Obviously, the guy in the NY Times article has a lot of money to go after, hence why his wife and her lawyer are being such pitbulls about the whole thing. If someone with this much planning and money dumped into estate planning is continually seeing his shit going up for grabs, what chance do regular guys have without these types of resources?
