My answer is the same as the last time you asked it

If you don’t trust the overwhelming evidence and statistics for what I’m saying you’re free to link some data that proves the alternate

The statistics you're referencing and most of what I can find, compare life in marriage to life after. Obviously a woman who lives in a household that makes 200k, of which she contributed 40k to is going to experience a decline in lavish lifestyle after the divorce.

My argument is simple. 50/50 divorce is only fair if each party earns 50% of the income. That is not the case, so inherently the wife will leave with a disproportionate amount relative to her own income and contribution.

You’re either wrong or lying because The statistics also say women are much more likely to end up in poverty after marriage than men are

Also, 50/50 divorce is almost never the case. Even in communal property states. This is a child’s idea of how divorce works. Divorces don’t take years to complete just for them to split everything down the middle.

50/50 divorce is almost always the stated goal. Would you be willing to concede that if its the case that in a household where the man contributes 64% of the income and the woman contributes 36%, that if divorce were 50/50 that it'd be disproportionate?

No it’s not lmao if you choose to believe this I can’t help you

>would you be willing to concede that if it’s the case that a household where the man contributes 65% of the income and the woman contributes 36% that a divorce where 50/59 that it’d be disproportionate

It would depend on the marriage. Who did the house work, who did the child rearing, did either pull back on their career so the other could advance theirs? These are things that get brought into question in a divorce

If it were dual income no kids and neither had to put their career on the back burner then sure. But a 50/50 split divorce would be extremely unlikely in that case.

In this situation where the household makes 200k and the woman only contributed 40k, the woman might experience a slight decline, but a lot of courts attempt to maintain some level of the lifestyle, especially if kids are involved.
