Divorce Entitlements?

Question

WHY DO WOMEN THINK THEY ARE ENTITLED TO HALF OF A HUSBANDS MONEY IN A DIVORCE? ESCPECIALLY WHEN HES RICH.

If you are married 10 years you cook clean take care of kids. I would say that would be about hmmm on an average maid salary i will give high amount maybe $100,000.

Why do they get like 10 million. You didnt really do crap wy do you deserve anything?

Agree or Disagree.

Answer 1

If you are smart, get a prenup.

If you are even smarter, don't get married.

The woman may not be ENTITLED to that money, but depending on the state law, it is legally hers. Beware of Golddiggers.

Answer 2

do not beat your self up that you signed your self off the loan, there is evidence (previous monetary employer funds) that you contributed to that abode. even with the undeniable fact that, contained in the united kingdom, even if you made a monetary contribution or no longer, you're nevertheless entitled to 0.5 the sources of the guy. and also lower than uk regulation, the guy is had to bypass out of the relations abode pending divorce courtroom circumstances. So do not let him bully you and do not be afraid, the regulation is on your area. Get what's rightfully yours. good luck.

Answer 3

Disagree 100%!!!!!!!!!

You are supporting your husband in his job so that he can earn that amount of money. If he had to take care of the home and family without you his earning potential would be much less. How about all the times he brought his work problems home and got your advice? Maid service? Lover? Psychologist/psyciatrist? Job coach/motivational speaker? Here is my estimate based on a 10 year marriage:

Wife and mother 24/7 x $20 per hour = (10 Years) = $1,747,200
Consultant 10 hours per week x $100 per hour = $520,000
Whore 3 times per week x $10,000 = $15,600,000
Maid 2 times per week x $50 = $26,000
Psyciatrist/psychologist 2 times per week x $300 per hour = $312,000
Job coach/motivational speaker $1000 per week = $520,000

The job of a wife/mom is not a 9-5 job strictly Monday through Friday. And who determined that it should be a minimum wage job? I think your calculation is a little off.

The money made during a marriage by both the husband and wife should be split equally. They both supported each other in order to make the money-it is only fair that they both should split it equally. Who determined that the man strictly made that money by himself and makes it "only his" money?!

I could go on and on......

Answer 4

Because it's not just cleaning and cooking and taking care of the kids. Wives are expected to attend functions, host parties, get involved in various activities to support the husband in their position (I'm assuming it's a high level position since you said 10 million). There are certain expectations of an executive's wife that she has to fulfill. If she doesn't, it reflects badly on her husband, so she can't just goof off or just stay home and cook. In the mean time, she doesn't get a salary. Sounds like work and no pay to me. So why shouldn't she get half of what her husband earns in a divorce?

Answer 5

You need to READ the Wedding Vows! Once they are said, in the presence of "God", they shouldn't be forgotten. When children enter into the marriage, and they are born and raised in a "certain" lifestyle, they are entitled to be raised with the same privileges! The mother/wife is entitled to the lifestyle that became hers when she married the "rich" man. 50/50 is the Settlement, in almost every state of the Union. The more years spent in the marriage, the more children, the more the Divorce Agreement is settled. Many woman who marry a well know Rich Man, have pre-nuptials, similar to what Brittney had with Kevin, and that is to protect her money. So don't be negative, be "smart" and marry a rich guy, because it IS a lot easier to be unhappy and rich then unhappy and "poor"!

Answer 6

i completely agree with you. let me enlighten this crowd of readers:

there was a girl that i was friends with. blatantly white trash. two kids with two guys, already been married twice by the time she was 21. she meets this guy who is slightly older than her (30) and she moves in. they get married. we (she and i) become friends by default since our men are best pals.

she tells me all this crap... she hates her husband, and she's only with him because, after she is married to him for a few years, she will divorce him and sue him for alimony. she thinks that she "deserves" it because she takes care of kids (which aren't even his), makes him food (most days) and cleans the house (some times). not to mention her white trash mom moved in and is leeching off of this guy as well.

to make things worse, i find out from her that she is cheating on him. she doesn't care because "he doesn't take care of her really." i tell him. he confronts her. she admits it. we aren't "friends" anymore (which doesn't make me sad because i never really liked her anyway). they stay together. he made her quit her job. he pays all of her bills. her $150 a month cell phone, buys food, she's got a brand new car.

what do i think? because she is not doing anything to bring any monetary enrichment to this family, she doesn't deserve a dime. she says that she is "used" to this lifestyle now and deserves alimony because he's "shown her the better things in life" and she can't live without those now. blah blah blah

so, if you aren't doing anything to keep up your end of the deal, you don't deserve sh!t. I hate how women always try to act like they're independent and a big dog and can hang with the boys and don't need a man to do anything for them. but when they divorce, all of a sudden they are codependent and need all this money to help them heal, blah blah blah. She should get enough money to get her on her feet, at best. So, MAYBE $5000 or $6000 to get a place, pay bills for a couple of months, and find daycare for her boys. Other than that, leave her flat on her donkey.

I feel this way I guess because although I am married, I provide for my house. My husband and I are equals. And we have a prenup. Our assets stay our assets. Any assets acquired during the marriage will be given to the person whose credit the asset was acquired with. I have a car in my name, he has a car in his name. Whoever keeps the kid after the divorce gets the house so we don't fully uproot her.

Can you tell that I'm a little bitter about the whole situation?

Hope this helps.

Answer 7

First of all, divorce law depends on the state, so it is not always and not necessarily half. So I disagree.

I also disagree that she is only entitled to the maid's salary. By her staying home she helped him to build his career and not worry about a thing. She contrubuted into making his life better.

Answer 8

The maid didn't have to bang him in order to stay the maid. The maid didn't have to carry the children nine months. The maid didn't have to sit there night after night. The maid did not sacrifice her career in order to stay home to raise their children.
The maid had her own thing going on while she is the housekeeper. She did not have to stay faithful to her boss.
Summer, there is a difference between someone giving up their career, as oppose to someone who never had a career. There is a difference about raising the couples children which they had together as opposed to kids coming in from another marriage. Both you and your husband choose to work and that's great for you. However in some marriages it's mutually decide upon for one spouse to stay home and raise the children.

Answer 9

i agree because you need to start a new lif and need to get on your feet and if you were a housewife you need the money to get through the time youre off work (esspecially if you need a little education, also if you take the children you need to suport them too, i disagree to take all that money if you have a good paying job (depends on where you are)

Answer 10

Because it was a marriage, she was NOT hired as a maid.
Marriage is 50 / 50 and who earns the money is not relevant . . . all is shared, debt and assets.
(a woman gets stuck with 1/2 the bills if he is a washout)
