It is my opinion that the first hurdle in getting an equitable remedy is to have the case heard in a judicial venue. The psuedo - judges, referees, magistrates or whatever they are called, are there only to assemble the record and shuffle you through the system. The real judge will then rubber stamp whatever this administrator recommends. Once in the system snap on your nose ring.
Marriage has a special status in jurisprudence. There are many fundamental rights at stake that are intertwined. The state wishes to abrogate those rights in order to streamline the process, thereby increasing their profits. Make no mistake, divorce is a profit making venture for them, and they've constructed a system that ensures job security for decades to come.
Our job is to express the terms of an implied contract (marriage) before they do. That means we must insist upon a judicial proceeding where there is no third party presumption by the state. Only when the proceedings are between husband and wife can any equitable remedy be forthcoming.
90+% of divorces ( divorce is the proper word, dissolution is statutory ) are initiated by women, where they engage the system and use it to their advantage.
