    Given the recent number of high-powered marriage divorces that have been publicized in the media, there have been questions concerning the right that women have to take large amounts of money from their former mates. I have heard every argument that explains why the woman should leave with so much money such as "Maintaining the lifestyle", "She had his kids", to the notorious "I was with him when he was broke" argument. What I saw on this website bites the cake. Follow this link and take a look at some of the stuff on this website:

    what is wrong with the I was with him when he was broke? Some women are truthful on that. I recall a story where a man wanted to quit his job to become a writer. The wife had saved money all of her life and told him if you do I will support you. He quit his job to be a writer and became very successful at it. They didn't get divorced but if they did I would think she is owed a fraction since she invested in him.

    Just make a contract or prenup or don't get married(you don't have to be married to have kids). I never understood that.

    I think it depends on the context of the relationship. There are still people that hold to the traditional family make-up where the husband is the provider & the wife minds the home & children. In a situation where the wife depends solely on her husband, she's at a huge disadvantage if the marriage ends. I think it's only fair that she get something in the divorce settlement to ensure that she lands on her feet. However, there are variables that effect what the settlement should or should not be.

    If there is a violation of the marriage contract on the wife's part, I think it should either decrease or eliminate her settlement. If the wife cheats, I don't think she should get anything. If she decides to leave on her own, her reasons for leaving should be considered in determining what she gets. If the husband cheats, lies, is abusive, etc., he should have to atone for it financially if he is able.

    Children of course should be supported, but this needs no explanation.

    Although I believe that a woman who depends on or is mistreated by her husband should receive a fair settlement, she also has a certain financial responsibility after a divorce. I don't believe that it's the ex-husband's sole responsibility to take care of her. There is no reason that a woman shouldn't be required or expected as an adult to step up & do her part in taking care of business. In life the unexpected happens, and we all are responsible for doing whatever needs to be done. No excuses.

    The problem with this statement is that not every woman who says this invested in you or did anything to make your dreams happen they just want credit because they decided to be with you even though you didn't have much. And that's not always a sign of love just a sign of circumstances and luck on her part. That's like your friends or family members saying the same dumb shit, you wouldn't be expected to give them anything so why should you have to give anything to a chick just because she opened her legs for you.
