AIBU to think asking for spousal maintenance in a 50/50 custody arrangement with no maintenance due from either party is just plain entitlement?

It depends on the disparity really ?, if someone isn't able to house themselves adequately without it etc.

Why should that be the responsibility of an ex though? Surely benefits are there to prevent a person not being able to house themself.

It depends

If they earn 500k the other might need a buffer for a few years

Its not rocket science
