As a guy I have to admit men are pigs & generally speaking after just one thing especially when they get older. However does I read an article about how a guy will lose two billion dollars for having an affair while he's worth like $22billion so 2 isnt a lot. My point though is while this guy cheated & deserves to pay & his wife of 15 years deserves something for her time & hardship doe it really seem fair that a guy say a firefighter or even a salesman that makes be it $40k or even $100k a year deserve to lose half his worth especially if he didn't cheat or worst if the wife did? People marry all the time for money & after a few years suddenly "fall" out of love & want a big pay day which isnt fair. Am I out of line thinking that unless theirs children &/or cheating involved wealth shouldnt be split 50-50% especially including future earnings. Its one thing if you get $500k on a million dollar wealth but future earnings also what is up with that. No matter who makes it it's not fair.

Women get caught cheating all the time. I've seen & heard numberous stories of women cheating on bfs or husbands in the military or who are lawyers & work long hours bring in the money. I'm not saying that staying at home is easy or fair. I've never wanted anything from a woman other then her time & friendship let alone if it lead to more. I've dated a woman who made more then me she was smarter beautiful & a salesperson so she got a salary & commission as well as commission on the salespeople below her. All I ever wanted from her was her time & compainship.

I totally disagree with spousal support - in this day and age, us lasses want equality in everything, so why shouldn't we stand on our own two feet? Why should we feel men have to support us? I can't stand women who insist their ex should provide for them, (doesn't matter if the marriage just broke down or if infidelity was involved or whatever), get a job, get a life and stop blaming the ex for all your insecurities.
However, if a child is involved then child support should be paid regardless if it's the mother or the father who should pay.

people fall out of love, it happens every day, no cheating involved. so say that a woman spend the last 25 years at home being a stay at home mom and raising kids while the hubby goes back to school and gets a better job. does she not deserve anything? being a stay-at-home is just as hard a job than actually working.

If the spouse has helped assisted that person get to where they are(supporting while in school) then I think a few years of future income is not that much to ask. I have heard about woman that supported their husband while he furthered his education. Took care of the bills and the household so hubby could study. Then after all that,he dumps her. Is that fair????

personally, if my husband cheated, I wouldn't want one penny of his money! and I don't believe that the court system is always fair or right about how they choose to do things. it often seems like the men end up losing everything they have, or having to support a wife they're no longer with, and I wonder why. if the tables were turned, I doubt the wife would have to pay alimony to support her ex-husband!
so no, I don't think that you're out of line.
Best Wishes.

That's why couples sign a agreement before they get married,this days when women have more to offer it would only be the correct thing do. Plus women rarely get cough cheating, some men are not only pigs there dumb asses, once done with one marriage their they go getting into another. So the deserve whats coming to them

Women really DON'T want equality or unfair settlements wouldn't exist. Women get half or more even if they don't deserve it, because judges KNOW they really are the weaker sex.
No such thing as affirmative action in Divorce...
P.S 98% of women ordered to pay child support DEFAULT..look it up

enable me to disabuse you of this unusual concept that Baptists frown upon dancing. It basically isn't real - a minimum of right here in the united kingdom. i replaced right into a member of a huge Baptist church in England for over 5 years and that i visit guarantee you that they: savour sex (yet in undemanding words with their spouses) savour dancing (of the modest form) positioned on makeup (the girls human beings, it truly is) Have even been undemanding to have a tumbler of two of wine Love music and making a music (we had a magnificent church band and our minister, a Welshman, has been undemanding to quit the congregation in mid-hymn and coach them to start up back yet this time with gusto!) or maybe savor way of existence and the humanities (our minister replaced into an finished musician and gave up a occupation as a pianist to serve God). don't know what that's like in the united states, inspite of the actuality that. thanks for making me snigger, sweetheart - would not do for human beings to take themselves too heavily (even Baptists)!

I agree with you also. I don't think there should be spousal support, especially for those who marry for money. Yes it would .be hard to maintain the same lifestyle you had while you were married, but it is your choice to get divorced.

it should make people really stop and think hard about who they are about to marry. if they are not a person who you are willing to split your stuff with, a person who you can trust not only in marriage, but in a divorce, then dont marry them. or -get the stupid pre-nup.
