“Everything is divided 50/50, right?”

If I had a penny for every time that question was asked, or if that statement was true, I probably wouldn’t be working. Where did this myth start and why is it still floating around? Is it something that is just assumed by virtue of being in a couple?

Anyway, FYI the answer is NO; and neither is 50/50 the starting point.

Unfortunately, it appears this guy understood this common myth to be gospel and literally divided everything in half before obtaining some family law advice:

Lucky there weren’t any kids involved.
