Who Gets the Spoils of Divorce

bernee writes "The Australian Institute of Family Studies has released a working paper into divorce which reveals women are receiving the majority of assets.
The research has found almost half of divorced couples must divide basic assets including the family home and contents, car and usually the husband's superannuation.
The institute says on average, women receive two thirds of basic assets and a fifth of non-basic assets including businesses, investments and superannuation.
The complete report can be downloaded here."
