The classic method is to put a monetary value on everything that can be valued, add it up, and divide the assets as closely as possible in half. Split the sentimental items that can't be easily valued in half separately, either duplicating them if possible, or have the two people decide which items go where. they are the arbiters of "fairness" in that regard.

IOW, there is no rationale Of course there is, Occams Razor. it's just the way a proposed anomaly can be made to fit into your world view. ? Calling fairness in family relationships an anomaly, is an anomaly itself, albeit one that you can fit into your world view. Ever tried to get kids to be fair, it's very much in us, a genetic impulse, which is why it is such a common imperative. what other ways might others with a more conscious awareness of fairness approach it? Everyone should use their awareness of it to find their own way. What alternative approaches to fairness would you recommend for couples divorcing? If you can't find your way forward in fairness, get help from an intermediary. If you can agree on one. If you can't get your way without help, and it's that important, get a lawyer.
