QUESTION
I want a divorce, but I fear my husband will try to hide some assets because he know I qualify for spousal support. How can I stop him?

More details to this question:
My husband & I want to divorce after 24 yrs of marriage. I've been a stay-at-home mom the last 13 yrs raising our 3 boys, now men. I don't have a nickel to my name, which is giving me major anxiety regarding an uncertain future. The fact that he's always managed our finances & his brother is a financial advisor makes me cringe. I don't trust him because he's very shrewd, sneaky, and deceitful with our money. He doesn't respect my intelligence because I haven't worked in years. This makes him feel empowered. Together, we own two homes. He wants to sell the home where we reside, and keep the second home to collect rent money for our retirement. However, don't know how much I can really trust "Mr. Nice Guy". I suspect he hides money. I just want what's mine so I can start over. Is it in my best interest to file for divorce before he does? and How can I make him present full disclosure of our finances (assets/debts) so he doesn't try to cheat me of what's fair to me? Please help. Thanks
