If some states have a 50/50 divorce law then whats the use of a pre-nup?
Like some states have divorce law that each partner gets 50% of everything. If so, then whats the use of a pre-nup? If they didn’t do one then its 50/50? If they do sign one then its up to the pre-nup agreement reguardless of state 50/50 law?

The pre-nup takes precedence over the 50/50 law. The 50/50 law is applied when there is no other contract/agreement.
The reason for the law is because when you’re married you become "one person" so to speak and with 50/50 both parties have an easier transition to life on their own.
