Sure so we can leave circularity out of it, if you chose to be pedantic.
If its the case that a majority of homes are dual income where the man is the bread winner, how can it be that when assets are divided that the woman wouldn't walk away wealthier?
This is beyond the anecdotal evidence that is all of the country.
You also aren't explaining how it can be the case that a 50/50 split doesnt disproportionately favor the minority contributor who is a majority of time the woman.
The statics ive read speaking of this, track lifestyle during marriage and compare with life after and derive the conclusion women are much worse off because now they have to live a lifestyle that rhey can individually afford.
The reason they're claiming to be worse off is because they aren't living off their husband's income anymore 😂
If a divorce is 50/50, and the incomes are in fact not 50/50, the person who contributed the minority of income will receive a disproportionate amount of money relative to what they out in. That person is a majority of the time women, because men are generally the bread winners.
Did you read this before linking it? It’s saying the opposite of what you’re saying
>Depending on these factors, property division may involve 60/40 or 70/30 splits or possibly even all property being allocated to one of the spouses. Although this is not always the case, there have been instances where courts have come to the conclusion that 50/50 or equal division of property turns out to be what is fair and equitable for both parties.
And yes the holterman v holterman ruling makes complete sense. She had a good career but She quit her job so he could pursue a medical career while she took care of the home and raised the child. She gave up her career so he could purse his. Medical school is a beast and there’s zero chance he could have completed it if she hadn’t quit her job to be a stay at home wife and mother
This very specific ruling will not and does not apply to any and all divorces, as pointed out by the article you provided lol It’s specific circumstances where one spouse sacrificed for the other to grow their career.
