My spouse stayed at home during our marriage. Can he get half of our assets?

Michael Collins, a family lawyer in Dallas, answers:

The factors taken into consideration for an equitable division would include disparity of earning capacity and the ability of the parties to work. If there was one party choosing to be at home and taking care of children that issue is addressed. If the party is choosing not to work, and it is condoned by the party, the court will also take that into consideration.
