It's safe to say that joining the military probably means you have a fairly high-stress job. Obviously, some positions carry more stress than others; someone who sees active combat, for instance, may feel more stress than someone who does not. But, on the whole, everyone who joins the military sees a bit more stress than people who work in other professions.

Some of the most high-stress jobs include:

• Firefighters
• Detectives
• Police officers
• Military service members
• Pilots, including fighter pilots
• Senior corporate executives
• Event coordinators
• Newspaper reporters
• Public relations executives
• Taxi drivers

Couples may end up arguing about a lot of things during a divorce, from child custody arrangements to whose fault the divorce is. One of the key points of any case, though, may be some of their high-value assets. When they don't agree, it can make splitting up property more complicated.

For instance, one man said that he bought a boat -- he didn't state what he paid, but he said that he knew other people who purchased boats for around $500,000 -- and he wanted to live on it after he and his ex got divorced. He wound up spending anywhere from three to four years on it.

You know your rights. You have had friends who got picked up on drug charges, after all, and you started doing your research. When the police approach you, you are not intimidated. You know what they can and cannot do.

This is very good, but the reality is that police officers often do not expect you to know your rights, and they may even get angry when you do.

You and your spouse bought a home worth $1,000,000 about 10 years ago, and the value has only increased. When you file for divorce, you want to sell the house and split up the proceeds from the sale.

Your spouse, however, doesn't want to do it. They resist the sale and demand that you consider other options. You're confused. Why would they want to do anything other than the easiest way to divide a home, a way that could give both of you a nice payout since the home's value increased?
