So for example the house you live in is the only matrimonial asset (unlikely in real life considering shares, insurance, bank accounts ), she contributed 40% of the purchase price and was also looking after the kids full time, minimum also is 40% but sure will have add on because of her non monetary contributions to the marriage.
