Many years ago, at a tax workshop, one of the speakers pointed out this interesting technique.

What looks like fair split, can, instead turn out to have some dastardly surprises to an unsuspecting spouse.

I'll admit, before she pointed this out, I'd never really thought about it. (Of course, I had not had any experience with couples who had assets of any substance either.)

Since then, I have been involved with divorces – and did take this information into account. Depending on the fairness of the opposing spouse overall – I'd either encourage my client to be fair, or to be clever.

It's good to have a professional on your side–surprises can be costly."
