filing for a divorce but have a lawsuit pending

What is the name of your state? NJ

MY QUESTION IS...

MY SPOUSE AND I HAVE BEEN HAVING IRRECONCILABLE DIFFERENCES FOR THE PAST 8 MONTHS OF OUR 1 1/2 YEAR MARRIAGE, IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT'S GETTING ANY BETTER AND THE TOPIC OF DIVORCE CAME UP IN AN ARGUEMENT.WE HAVE 2 CHILDREN TOGETHER 1 BIOLOGICALLY AND 1 FROM A PREVIOS RELATIONSHIP. I CURRENTLY HAVE A PENDING LAWSUIT OUT FOR A MAJOR COMPANY IN WHICH MY SPOUSE IS A KEY WITNESS, AND IS NEEDED FOR THE TRIAL. HOW WOULD A DIVORCE PLAY IN THE MONIES OWED TO ME, WITH GIVING MY SPOUSE HALF?? WOULD THAT HAPPEND OR NOT???What is the name of your state?

First, please don't post in all caps. Its shouting and it makes your posts difficult to read.

If your spouse is a key witness for the suit, then you need your spouse's cooperation to win the case. Do you think that you are going to get your spouse's cooperation if you don't agree to share the proceeds? That is something that you have to consider.
