What Factors Affect a 50/50 Property Division Split in Divorce?

[@Porschesvideos]

i have spent nearly 18 years with my husband who controls all the money. He lives in a house 100% paid in full, while i live in the marital home. I was a stay at home mom/wife. He makes 6 figures.... the judge ordered the marital home be sold with no order of the house he lives in that is both marital property. I have health issues and not doing well and can't find any help at all. I need help. I'm getting beat up in court. i can't afford an attorney and am pro se' while he can afford any attorney. there is nothing "fair and equitable" about our divorce and it is all benefiting him. my physical and mental health is suffering badly.

Question: if the guy spends money in a way that's deemed marital waste, how about the wife buying lots of expensive cosmetics/clothing/LV bags???? Or, what if the guy works extra hard to make way more money than say when they married? Is the policy looking out for the guys who are not only providing for the whole family but also helping the society prosper (via his job or taxes).

What happens let’s say that if you have already bought a house and everything else and you get to married. So your partner hasn’t contributed to the houses, cars, savings and everything else and you decide to divorce? I’m asking because thinking of getting engaged and then marry but only god knows of the future. So I don’t want in an unfortunate situation in the future to lose half of all of my assets.

Thank you for your response! In this circumstance it may be best to consult with an attorney to discuss a Prenuptial Agreement.
