One mistake that a lot of men make - and one reason why men so often get shorted in family court - is that they have been trained from the time they were a child to be chivalrous to women. To give them the benefit of the doubt, to try to make things better when she cries and to just look the other way when she makes a few false allegations or uses manipulative tactics due to stress.

Don't do those things. Go full force against her, because she is going to go full force against you if there is a hefty court dispute.
