Divorce property investment plan. Looking for input

I'm going through a divorce right now and conducting some plans for the future. I would appreciate any input or strategic investment plans with your thoughts. This plan hinges on the fact that I buy her out during the divorce process. I have not yet had any evaluations or comps done by an agent. These are numbers based on my research. Thank you.

Location: rural area east of Dallas:

We have 2 acres with a 1500 square ft house. 3 bed/2 bath.

Numbers based on house value at 250k

My idea is:

- Buy her out using Heloc. Borrow 150k. Giver her the 125k. Use 25k for renovations.

- divide property and sell 1 acre for 45k

- live in house while saving money, getting house ready for renters.

- if market drops, be patient and search for next rental property to purchase. Use 45k from selling property to invest in next property.

- rent out original property for market rent. About $1550/month.

The second half of this is after divorce should I do anything different to prevent her from collecting more money after I have hopefully produced more rent money coming in. For example. Putting new property in another family members name? Or another similar strategy.

Thank you.
