I have a simple question in Family Net Property Calculation: In FNP calculation when the result (Asset - debt&deduction) turns out to be negative figure, it is considered as "0" in total according to Family law as everyone knows. I can not understand why negetive number, which represents "loss/debt" incurred in marriage, is not be devided in FNP calculation. Shouldn't it be shared in the same way as the profit??
For example, If one party happens to end up the bigger debt, let's say -$100K while the other party had $100K asset, FNP payment would be $50K, since negative number turns to "0". The party with debt at separation still has $50K debt while the other party keep the $50K profit after the division...is this fair?
