I mean, if she is divorcing him "today" it means she has the paperwork. If they have kids and property together, they are going to have lawyers. It's not like she is immediately taking everything right now. The easiest divorce I have ever seen was a couple who rented an apartment, didn't have a joint checking account (for some reason to do with paying bills) and they basically signed the paperwork, filed, and were able to get out of their rental contract without hassle. The only thing they had to divide up was furniture. And it was basically "oh, you want the couch? Ok, you can have it if I get the TV and entertainment cabinet". So it was like bartering. But kids, property, and joint accounts? Yeah, that will absolutely involve lawyers.

My divorce was much like the second example where we just divided the furniture, she stayed in the house because her daughter went to school nearby, and I took everything that was mine previously, the 2nd couch we bought together, and got my own apartment. Very easy. She took her name off my bank account and opened her own and we split the money in the account 50/50. No kids and no property to fight over. The hardest part was her boyfriend and cousin moving my stuff to my new apartment while I was at work and getting a text telling me my new address and that the keys were under the mat while I was at work one day. That part hurt.
