Crapola!!
The woman who has generally never worked a hard day in her life takes half of the man's toil. QED.
She then upgrades, and has normally already found her upgrade before ending the marriage.
Capitalism has constructed it this way because it is generally the man who will do the bulk of the work for the economy.
..the man is then forced back to work until his "happy" retirement age of 67, when he is then generally lucky to be alive, let alone be able to enjoy the fruits of his capitalistic toil.
You appear to be speaking from some particular, antiquated anecdotal perspective.
These days, the contributions of BOTH parties just before entering the marriage as well as ALL contributions made during the marriage are carefully considered and weighed up. Future responsibilities as regards children and the cost of their care are also divided equally these days. Exceptional circumstances exist, but that's the case with any legal matter.
Yes, I agree with WW here. It is a quite fair system.
Some men let themselves down by violence, threats, alcohol ...... whereas most women "hold it together" better.
Very justly, if a man is threatening violence, taking drugs or drinking too much, the courts should protect the woman or children.
My mates going through a rough divorce ATM with a women who thinks exactly like the above, she wants the house, his super, maintenance & half his business.
She has even demanded the financials of his new girlfriend but is refusing to reciprocate with her new boyfriend's assets.
She will only allow access to his daughter every 2nd weekend & last holidays wouldn't allow him to see her at all.
Whats worse is there was no notice not even a phone call on the day he was supposed to pick her up at the park.
She then proceeded to make their 7 year old daughter lie to her father about her whereabouts, he knows this because he saw her when she was supposed to be somewhere else, she went bright red at seeing her father & admitted mummy made me tell you I was........
So Sprint I hope what you say is true, because his been to court once & they now must mediate (yeah right, she ain't giving nothing)
She had the affair, she asked him to leave, but has got all vindictive(you wouldn't believe some of the accusations) since he found a new women & some happiness instead of being a lonely suicidal wreck.
Luckly for him everyone that knew them as a couple has stayed with him whilst barring the over bearing witch, the most common thing he hears is "about time", we are all ready to walk onto the stand & tell the truth to support him, dispel her vindictive lies(child abuse, abandonment & threats against her) & hope the judge chucks her in the hole for perjury.
