about how to manage joint money when there is the possibility of divorce?
Or does this need to be discussed with a lawyer?

The financial advisor is going to address an issue from the perspective of money and its long term growth vs short term needs.

The lawyer is going to address the issue from a perspective of law and probably fairness.

If you have a nest egg that's going to be a question of how to invest, I'd strongly urge you to consider consulting both. It's worth it in the long run.

There are specialists who are CDFAs, Certified Divorce Financial Analysts, many of whom are well versed in this area.

It is hard to answer this as I do not know your objectives.
Are you looking to invest now and want to know your options?
Do you have investments that you are concerned about what will happen?
Also depends where you are located. For example if you are in NY, in most instances all assets accrued during the marriage are divided equitably which is usually 50/50 (not inheritance or payout from injury etc.) So if you are looking to invest in something now and there is a high likelihood that you are getting divorced, whatever you invest in will be split 50/50. If you have a specific question you can PM me or post here, and I can try and steer you in the right direction.

Sorry I do not know how the system works there.
I would suggest the first step would be to find out what the laws are there regarding distribution of marital property in a divorce.
