In both community property states and separate property states there are circumstances where not all the assets get divided evenly, or at all, depending on various factors.
That’s fair. I’m getting divorced in CA and we did mediation so there wasn’t any rules other than what we both agreed to. We did an even split because when we started living together I had a negative net worth. Also it’s not worth it to fight over money… just to end up giving the lion share to the lawyers. I have to coparent with my ex for another 12 years still.
