It's hard to be prepared for this but try not to let him get the best of you financially. It's sad but he will likely try to take advantage of you in your emotional state. When my X and I first had "the talk" he went from one sentence "I still love you I want to make this work" to "I'll need a few thousand extra from you to set up my new house" literally in the same conversation. I thought at first that it was his way of covering the hurt he must have been feeling but have come to realize that all he misses from our relationship is ole' moneybags here. I know this is hard but get tough as quick as you can at least when it comes to the finances. My X walked away from our marriage debt free and I will be paying for it for the next 10 years. Good luck to you.
