[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was getting divorced in DC in 2021. From my lawyer: equitable distribution in practice is 50/50 by default. A spouse would have to go to court prove that they contributed significantly more over the course of marriage, but even then it would be probably 55-60% share of assets but no way 1/3! And DC in fact counts marital assets even during separation until divorce is official. Info from top Maryland and DC attorneys[/quote] well were you in a short childless marriage with someone who earned 4x more than you? 50-50 may be the “default” but the facts here do not support 50-50 and it would be insane to think that OP’s husband will roll over and give her 50% in mediation. Because they are not bargaining from the position of a theoretical fact-free default, but from what a judge would actually do. [/quote]
