I had purchased some hunting property about a year before my divorce. My wife at the time had no interest in the property. She never even went there with me and the kids. During the divorce she brought up the property and wanted half of it. She wanted me to sale it and split the money. I reminded her that we had bought the property so that the kids and I had a place to deer hunt. I explained to her that it really wasn't fair for her to make me sell it. My divorce wasn't nasty and she didn't ask for a whole lot at all. She just wanted out and ASAP. In the end I kept the property. Sometimes it pays to be honest and upfront about things. My divorce was very different because she didn't fight me for much.
