I'm divorcing my husband, we own 2 homes together, and other assets. We want to avoid courts and work things out independently.

Get a lawyer, and split everyhting right up the middle...50/50. Have the houses appraised, and other assets, then split them in half. It's not hard if both agree.

Depends alot on who gave up what as well. If you are both career people earning approx the same with the same opportunities then a more 50/50 split is appropriate. If one of you made all the money, paid all the expenses, then its not really fair to split 50% is it? If one of you put career on hold to raise the family then NOT having half isnt fair because of the sacrifices. All things equal? Split all the expenses over the life of the marriage, then split the marriage assets accordingly. Example: If a house is worth 200K, and you paid 100K so far and he paid nothing, he owes 50K and you split the proceeds. And you take out what you brought in unless you agree to other terms. 50% isnt fair; it's just easy. Im sorry to hear about your divorce :(

There is no way to split things evenly 50/50, what if you own 3 t.v.'s, or just one (or three) sets of dishes.. if you cant agree on what each other want get a lawyer tell him what you want and let them fight it out over what it is you want.. taking into account personnel effects you owned before the marriage. Also depends on what terms you two are leaving on, good terms be somewhat fair, bad terms like being unfaithful or just a mean guy, get what you can..

Write down why each of you think you should get things you want and why. Get together and talk about this. What ever each get make sure is in thier name only within a reasonable amount of time. Like the mortgage on the house should be done into just who evr gets its name. Just be reasonable to each other and save lots of lawyer money. The two of you really know who should get what by who wanted the stuff. If something is reaaly expensive toy like a project car the other should get something to compensate for it. Just be understanding and talk.

Your already said it. Split 50% 50%. And definately do not involve attorneys. If you can work it out together, without "The War Of The Roses" Do it! Good Luck!

To split everything up 50/50, if you live in a community property state, you'll have to do that anyway. Unless he signs a waiver to give you what ask for in the divorce papers.

Split everything acquired during the marriage in half. Negotiate over things both of you want so you can even out the split.

i'd be honest. i did not examine all of that. inspite of the indisputable fact that, even as the couple is married, each little thing belongs to both, severally and at the same time. that contains earnings, sources, liabilities that are incurred, earned, offered in the course of the marriage. In a divorce, all of those issues are chop up equitably, not both. If both companions worked, one does not get 50% of the earnings from the different. all the money earned in the course of the marriage in all likelihood has both been switched over to "issues" or spent on residing prices. The sources are divided. they don't look to be inevitably divided 50/50. as a count number of truth, they not often are till each little thing is liquidated into money, it truly is quite uncommon besides. each person who might want to view earnings as "mine" and "theirs" is lacking the point of a partnership and is in all likelihood to locate themselves getting divorced. in case you insist that you earned the earnings in the course of the marriage, for this reason each little thing is yours, you do not comprehend the regulation and could in all likelihood experience quite bitter no count number how the sources and liabilities are divided.

50/50 if you work it out and draw up a property settlement before you go into court and you will still have to go to court with it to avoid further probalems down the road the judge still has to hear the case.

whatever he came with he should leave with and the same for you. As for the things you all accumulated together, then it should be sold and split 50/50
