I am not sure that would help—Arizona is a community property state. I did my first divorce there. The divorce was very cheap, and we didn’t have any assets or debts in common fortunately, plus he waived his right to everything out of guilt for being an alcoholic, and I waived mine in turn, but it sounded like if we’d had assets in common everything would be split 50/50.
I don’t get the impression your husband is the kind of guy would suddenly abscond with your entire savings. He seems pretty passive in terms of taking action.
I do think it might be smart to consult a lawyer beforehand if you think leaving him is becoming a serious possibility.
