I wouldn't recommend divorce as a way to "remove a distraction" unless you have either a real good lawyer or a less than intelligent 'ol lady.
I got lucky a few times. Mostly using the less than intelligent 'ol lady method. My current 'ol lady is a different story. Florida redneck gals are pretty tough. Considering she worked on a dairy farm most of her early years, I'm concerned I'll end up wearing my ass for a hat.
