The reason why men "lose half" is because their wives tend to make less income, or no income at all, during marriage. Divorce in no fault jurisdictions is supposed to make both people equal after the relationship ends.

Is it fair for the spouse who earns little to no income to become destitute after a marriage ends? It's going to be pretty hard for a stay at home parent to earn an income after being out of the workforce after several years to several decades.

I've been an advocate of partnering up with your equal in both assets, earning potential, and upbringing for a long time, but I also realize that I'm in the minority. Men will be men and women will be women.

Anyway, lots of dad bods out there these days.
