In a divorce, marital property in a non community state is divided in what is called an equitable division. In practice this usually ends up being the same in that judges usually divide the marital property on a fifty fifty basis. In unusual situations there can be an unequal division based on a number of factors including fault in the breakup of the marriage. Usually the worst (or best) case scenario is 60/40. Anything more one sided than that would probably be reversed on appeal.
