Family law divides assets once, at separation, and calls it done. What happens in the years after depends entirely on income — and income is exactly what the law doesn't touch. Five charts, in order, show why that gap matters more than it looks like it should.
Verified monthly against real ATO income data and paid by standing direct debit. Nobody decides whether to pay each month — the platform simply executes it.
The agreement was set once, before separation, by two people who were still on the same side. Nothing has to be renegotiated, requested, or chased afterwards.
An equal split at separation is only equal if both people can afford to leave it alone. Otherwise one side compounds and the other gets spent down to zero — which is exactly what the charts below show.

Here's why one becomes the other.
You already trust this maths. You've just never seen it run backwards.
Nobody shows you what happens after the split. Now you've seen it.
