Having been through this, I can assure you that's true. The attorney fees will quickly eat into the value of your collection. Be prepared for at least a 50/50 split of the value. Mine was worse (55/45 in HER favor) due to liberal and so called "Fair and Equitable" Washington State circumstances.

Just try to agree on a total valuation without having to throw extra money at an appraiser or attorney. If it gets nasty, unfortunately you may have no other choice

I'm sorry to tell you about my buddy (in California)....he acquired 95% of his many collections before he met his gold digging ex but she still ended up with half, even though he fought tooth and nail.
