There is no guarantee, even, that the two particles have the same sign of charge, depending on which one gets more or less of the original fissioned atom's electrons. Look dude, my PhD minor subject area was Nuclear Science, this is kindergarten type nuclear knowledge.

Actually we can pretty well guess that both have the same sign and both are positive.

"Actually we can pretty well guess that both have the same sign and both are positive."

Only on initial formation. The nuclei will immediately start grabbing electrons from anywhere and everywhere, and the final state of charge is anybody's guess.
