Tell the elders, this will free you to leave the cult one day and not have the DF thing hanging over your head. Also fuck her. Let her get DFed and what ever else you can to to mess with her and its still only a small thing compared to her being a slut. I would say fight hard to get your half, lie when you have to. This is a war and she seems ready to fight it to the max by her actions. Do not absolutely puss out and think of the good times. Those are gone and she destroyed it.
You will go through the 7 phases, and anger will be a part of it. GET AN ATTORNEY, do not even think about it get an attorney. She most certainly already has. If you don't you are bringing a squirt gun to a real gun fight. If you give in to any empathy or emotion other than anger you will be just setting yourself up for regret for the rest of your life. You can reset your life and find a good woman. but you need to get ready to fight.
Listen to your Attorney. They have been through this before many times. If you like the dogs she does not just get to take them. I would assume that you have no prenup and all the property is communal. You have at min half interest in everything. Move anything of value out of the house to your family's home and don't talk about it unless she brings it up and then just say I have no idea where it went. I assumed you took it when you left. This is a war and you need to get the mental frame of mind for it.
Do not talk to her with out at the very minimum assuming she is recording it and she most likely is and her attorney will tell her what questions to ask or how to lead you to get something to use in court against you. It would be the best to not talk to her. Just like when you get an issue with the police, never ever especially if you are innocent do you open up to the police. You always say I need to talk to my attorney first. If you do not get an attorney then bend over and grab your ankles because in the end you are going to get it up the rear end and no dinner first.
Also this will not stay quit as far as the elders go. They will know you are divorced unless you both move away and never contact anyone from you home town. The elders will know and don't put yourself in that position of getting DFed and letting the slut spin it to them before your side is told. You hold the card right now. DO NOT let her be the only side that spins her story. She very likely can use the you were abusive to her mentally and or physically. This will spring the empathy card with some. If you do not look at this as a war and arm up you are going to treated like shit and get steam rolled. Get mad get very mad and get an attorney and fight. Do what your attorney tells you to to the letter.
