[quote=Anonymous]Read it and weep OP: “It was stated by Justice O’Conner, in his opinion in Conner v Conner, that that equitable distribution encompasses a partnership, no matter what the proportionate share of capital advances and personal services, and that the wife's marital contributions as a homemaker are presumed equal in value to the husband's contribution as an income earner.” Although “equitable” does not mean “equal,” the NY Courts start with the presumption that it means 50-50 then apply a set of statutory criteria. I haven’t seen a case where a homemaker with 3 kids in a long marriage gets less than 50% but I suppose it is possible. But the scenario would be something like the wife was an objectively terrible parent/spouse (like, refused to work, did no housework or childcare, abused kids, abandoned the household) and the husband is taking full custody of the minor kids. Or if there were no kids at all and wife had high earning potential but refused to work. [/quote]
