Both spouse should obtain lawyers for the purpose of drawing up a mutually agreeable separation and property settlement agreement.(This does not in any way mean that the spouses are or will be required to get a divorce.)This agreement can be filed with the court and will settle all of the various issues which you have posed in your question and may prevent in some measure future disharmony and even rancor between the spouses.
