How do people lose everything to their spouse if a divorce is supposed to be 50/50?
There are endless stories of guys ending up with absolutely nothing after a divorce but the rules in most places say it should be an equalization payment(s). You often hear that one person got the house and most of the remaining money and the other now lives on a friend's couch. How is this possible?
I get that there are exaggerations and all, but a lot of people end up just destitute. I know lawyers charge a lot. Is it being split evenly after the lawyers take everything?
