Assume that for most of an eight-year marriage the husband has been very depressed. As a result, he has bounced from job to job with frequent periods of unemployment and has contributed little by way of caring for the house and the children. The wife has held down a steady job and has done most of the home care and childcare.

There is no question that their contributions are grossly unequal. How should this impact the property division? Does it make any difference to the issue if the wife knew about the husband's depression before the marriage? Does it make any difference if, instead of being depressed, the husband was an alcoholic? Drug dependent? Physically ill? Lazy?
