Of course. You're describing the typical divorce.

It should be more of you telling the lawyer how you want things to
be, and the lawyer doing what they can to make it happen. Remember
that old joke about a CEO interviewing several professions for a job,
and he asked each how much 2+2 was? The engineer did a series of
involved calculations to demonstrate that the answer was 4 with a
certain degree of certainty; the accountant did a series of double-
entry records, reconciling them to show that the answer was also 4.
The lawyer, though, went up to the CEO and whispered to him "How much
do you want it to be?"
