Half seems excessive! (For a person that doesn't have foreign income.) Does that include alimony?
It's like having the obligation of being married, without any of the benefits.
Half is the most they can request, they most likely wont get it, but whenever she applies for a rise which she can, every 6 months there give it until she takes half and then she has to wait until he gets a rise before she can request more.
Unless married she is actually entitled to squat, but if a child is involved then she takes half of whatever has been bought ov the time you have been together, that is looked at as the child's entitlement, and so still not the mother, she legally is entitled to squat.
It is a bit of a silly system as the both of you are asked to make a run down of the child's expenses monthly, including the value you put on the childs accommodation, the bedroom, clothes, school fees, food, milk whatever, everything. In the first instance a middle number is negotiated and then it is the woman's obligation to provide half also, so she is required to get a job. The idea that it is the guys responsibility entirely is not even recognized in the first instance, it is a 50/50 split.
Somehow when the fighting starts this is forgotten very quickly.
but no, the woman is legally entitled to nothing unless married, the furniture is seen as going to the child.
