Little tip for those who know they're probably about to go through a messy divorce:
Go to vegas. Better yet, go often.
Gamble, a lot. Buy things to prove you were gambling during these days. Stay at a nice hotel.
Bring a large chunk of money, then get a lot more when you're there. Max out your credit cards. Go into as much debt as you can.
Stash the majority of the money in a safe deposit box.
Get home, tell your wife how unlucky you were, but that you've had a lot of time to think and... that you're ready to sign the papers.
