50% would be a reasonable starting place. I might factor in her earning potential had she not left her career.

We've discussed getting it codified in a postnup (along with assets), so we would know in advance what any numbers would be should either of us want to terminate the marriage. I forget off the top of my head what number we floated -- she didn't ask for it to be 50%.

I’m in a similar boat but it’s something that just kinda happened as a result of having kids and living in Singapore. In my head I wouldn’t even want to discuss it I would just split down the middle but I read your post and wondered if my thoughts would change /if/ I was going through a divorce.

Hopefully it never comes to down because our relationship is amazing.
