Also be aware, even if you owned the doll collection before you got married, after 16 years of marriage, the court will generally say the doll collection is now a shared asset.
There is a magical and mystical court logic that assets slowly become the shared property of your partner over time even in a situation where they have not contributed ANYTHING to that asset whatsoever.
That is how you see rich businessmen having to give millions to the ex, even though the business was built before the wife came along and was not involved in the business AT ALL.
