In a Canadian divorce, a wife is not automatically entitled to a fixed percentage like half of everything without context, because asset division is governed by provincial family laws such as equal division of matrimonial property or equalization of net family property. Generally, both spouses are entitled to share equally in the growth of the value of family assets accumulated during the marriage, regardless of whose name is on the title. Courts also evaluate spousal support and child support entitlements based on financial need, length of marriage, and standard of living established during the relationship.
