A: That short marriage does not give you an interest in his separate properties. Instead you should have your lawyer demand what you need to transition for the next five years, and not agree to an ID divorce until you get what you want. Without an agreement, he will have to prove grounds for the divorce, which may not exist. At least figure out your money needs for a year and do not agree until cash is transferred. You apparently have nothing to lose. If his health is bad, it may be prudent to not agree and possibly become a surviving spouse.
