Advice about divorce

My husband and I have been talking about what would happen if we divorce. Our state is 50/50 I believe. We have been married for 26 years. I have worked in the home for the past 10 years. He says that he wants us to agree terms between us and not to use a lawyer. He says that if I use one he will be forced to protect himself (whatever that means). We are quite well off, live in a beautiful house (which he has suggested buying my share of). It is on the market at the moment but with the way the housing market is going its not likely to sell soon. He wants to give me a one off payment for alimony rather than have ongoing. We own two rental houses as well. We have life insurance policies, 401K. We own one car and are paying off the other. We also are paying off a motorbike (his) and a 38' boat. Any advice on what I should do would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks, Kathy

After he moved out, he would come into the house when I was at work and that really creeped me out. I got a lawyer, who got me total possession of the house, he cannot come here without my written permission. We had a civil agreement between us at the beginning, then he turned into a creep. You need a lawyer to protect your assets. In my state, PA,
Listen to everybody.
