During your marriage, you probably made financial decisions based on your combined income–and so did your wife. As a result, when the time comes to divorce, the two of you must divide your assets and shared debts equitably.
Subsequently, how are assets calculated in a divorce?
When you get divorced, community property is generally divided equally between the spouses, while each spouse gets to keep his or her separate property. Equitable distribution: In all other states, assets and earnings accumulated during marriages are divided equitably (fairly) but not necessarily equally.
In respect to this, who suffers the most in a divorce?
Men
Keeping this in view, can my wife take half of everything?
In California, there is no 50/50 split of marital property.
When a married couple gets divorced, their community property and debts will be divided equitably. This means they will be divided fairly and equally.
