1) The first thing to do is get yourself a post office box for any mail or letters that you wish to remain private.

2) It is a wise move if you keep any financial and business records in a safe location that neither your wife (soon to be ex) and her lawyers can get to them.

3) If you have any children then ensure that they know you are not leaving them and the divorce is not of their making.

4) Stop all of your credit cards and also close any joint accounts that you may have with your wife, she will be upset no doubt but you must do what you have to do.
