Dear Karen, 

I am in the early stages of a divorce, and I am thinking of representing myself. I am unclear on what I am entitled to. The wording in the legislation is “proper provision”? What does this mean? What if my husband does not declare all his financial assets, which I suspect he will not? I stayed at home to rear our three children over the years while my husband farmed.
