Judges do not automatically attribute pre-tax corporate income to a shareholder/payor in every case. They will assess each case on its particular facts before providing guidance to counsel about what should happen.

"Getting half" is not the way it works. Instead, a one-time payment is made in order to equalize the difference between the spouses' increases in their net worth from marriage to separation. That is very different from halving everything.

"My wife works, but only makes about one-half of my salary and she's already told me she'd go after everything she's entitled to, i.e. pension, property, alimony... After everything is divided down the middle, would I still be on the hook to pay her alimony for the length of our marriage?"

Back in 1995 when I started practising family law, the standard parenting schedule was pretty straightforward: The children resided primarily with one parent (almost always the mother). Well, things have changed. In recent years, I have witnessed a trend towards equal-time schedules, the most popular of which is "2-2-3."
