I'm not sure what Anon 14.53 means.

Hart was a case of a wealthy H introducing his money into a long marriage. At its end W got less than half of what there was, as 37% met her needs based on what was reasonable taking into account - among other things - her needs viewed against the matrimonial life experience.

Whoever introduced capital into the marriage of the average Joe, the first step - ignoring children - will be to meet each parties' needs - if possible - which often means equality - which may be postponed.
