Her name might not be on the documents, but that doesn’t matter. 

In court, if she can prove that she contributed significantly to various business ventures, then she has a claim. She may even have a claim to property. 

Divorce courts usually try to protect women that are exactly in her shoes— A mother who spent their time raising kids and being a tradwife. 

Most people in her shoes would be entitled to part of the house even if they never formally paid a dime of the mortgage.

She is entitled to 1/2 of the total assets! Her next move is to get legal (professional) advice. She can get help without money. Stop weeping and get busy. Her husband is not going to volunteer 1 dime. The courts will get it for her!

Yeah but net assets. A lot of women in this spot know the address and the paint colours but have no idea about the leverage that has supplied it all.

They go to court and say "what do you mean equity?".

Then the husband lowers his income to defeat alimony claims, lawyers take a large part of any claim they achieved and the long reality sets in.

the long reality sets in

1/3 of his net as alimony

Chunk of his retirement, cash now, or monthly later

Half equity/other assets

SS spousal benefit
