Pre-divorce legal advice

My sister just left my house after telling me that she will be divorcing her husband of 25 years upon learning he's been in a relationship with another woman for several months. They have two adult children.
I told her to immediately transfer everything from their joint bank account into her personal bank account. She pays their mortgage from her account and pay all other bills from the joint account. She claims she writes all the checks and he's clueless about their bills. Other than finding a good divorce attorney, is there anything else she should do immediately? They have a joint credit card with a balance. Should she cancel the cc with a balance to prevent him from running up charges?
They work at the same hospital along with the "other woman". He's currently going to school to be a nurse practitioner and so is the other woman.
This will be his third degree while she has none. She's wanted to earn a degree with a better job but has put it off due to financial constraints hoping that she could semi-retire in about 8-10 years after he got his NP.
Really a sad situation for my sis. Any meaningful advice is greatly appreciated.

Talk to a lawyer in person.

It's funny when people ask for advice on the OT. Like people are going to get serious advice.

She will soon. I'm just trying to think of things she could/should do immediately to protect herself financially.

Bad advice my man. Better tell her that's not how it works.

Not legal advice, but that seems not in good faith as far as something that could be viewed negatively by the court.
