I'm now in California. Alaska has a higher Div rate and it's not community property. But like most states, it wants "equitable" division of assets and what's best for the kids. Calif IS a community property state which actually simplifies things, no matter how some WASs may argue otherwise. At least you have some idea what to expect. But when I filed for a sep, (here in Calif, partly to assure this state had jurisdiction b/c if we were up there and things went to he!!, then I'd be stuck up there "Sharing custody" til d13 turned 18. Also I wanted to protect assets b/c h was so enamored of his heroes up there, if they'd said "sell your house and buy our gold", he would have wanted to)...anyhow, my L showed me an article that said roughly a third of filed divorces in Calif, never get completed.
So, does that mean ALL of them reconciled? Of course not. But some must. And that's AFTER filing.
I did file to reverse the sep btw. Made h feel better. And it reflected the truth.
