Re: 50/50 divide for divorce

There is not a concrete, certain answer to your questions. Many factors will determine whether you wife gets half. Much more information is needed. If you have concerns, it would be worthwhile to meet with an experienced family law specialist to get an opinion. Perhaps this would also be a good time to plan ahead for the future.
