It's just inheretly complicated to seperate the financial life of two people again. You owned everything together, and now suddenly you have to decide who gets what.

And they are often one-sided because at marriage you signed that you'd care for your partner financially. If you break up then that duty doesn't immediately stop. Maybe one partner stopped their career to care for mutual kids and is now has financially much worse prospects than if they never had married.
