No expert but some evidence suggests that divorce courts are definately 'anti-men' and you could be hammered if you divorce if; you earn more than your wife and have a decent pension fund and/or if children are involved. Just ask 'Fathers for Justice'. I am not so sure that it is a 50/50 split necessarily and it will almost invariably be split in favour of the woman. I have divorced colleagues who have walked away with very little compared to their former partners and are worse off by £100,000s generally due to 'sharing' the proceeds of the marital house sale and having to forgo a large portion of their occupational pension funds.
