If I lift one side of cabinet, and the opposite side remains on the ground acting as a fulcrum, have I lifted exactly half of the weight?

I have a bet with my father, but realized I do not know the answer to this simple question.

The answer is Yes, if CG is at the center of the cabinet, then at the moment the cabinet moves from the ground, you are lifting halve of the weight. As you lift higher, you lift less, until CG is above pivot/the corner on the ground. Then you lift zero..
It's not a moment problem nor torque.. It's forces.. 

How would the cabinet know if the floor or your dad is lifting the other corner.. Two are sharing the weight, each with half.. Floor or hand does not make a difference..
