Quote from jem:
If you choose to enter into the partnership without a a partnership agreement the state imposes its rules for dissolution.
Why is that so hard for people to deal with. Why is that unfair.
Why is it so hard for men to ask for prenups if they care about the money.
Quote from jem:
If you really want to look at this as a business... think about it.
Guys take out a womens good years and gets them to pump out kids... which takes serious tolls on their bodies.
If the state did not protect them financially the tax payers would be supporting a hell of lot more women and kids.
as a tax payer I want to make sure women and kids are supported by the guy who made babies with them.
Quote from phenomena:
wow. are you really trying to argue that women are physically unable to work after they have had children, and trying to justify alimoney and child support policies that way?LOL! aren't you supposed to be a lawyer??
Quote from peilthetraveler:
Someone gets out of the workforce for 5 or 10 years and they miss alot of opportunities for promotion & higher income because they stayed home and took care of the kids while the other spouse that worked, got all the promotions for the time he put in at work. So the wife who was at home, now has to start from scratch at the same time being middle aged and competing with a younger more educated crowd.
On a reverse case, there is Joan Lunden who's husband helped get her to where she is and she had to pay him $18,000 per month alimony when they got divorced which I think is only fair because without him, she would have had to stay home with her kids and work some part time job at K-mart that was flexible with their hours for her.
Its my belief that if you cheat, you should lose half your networth. If your spouse cheats, they should lose half their net worth.
Quote from phenomena:
men risk the women deciding to leave them for whatever reason they feel like, taking half of everything, even if they actually earned none of it, and getting payments forever. women are incentivized to leave marriages, and in fact initiate the large majority of divorces... women can screw all the guys friends, be wreckless with money and assets, decide to run off with another guy, or just want to be single again and take the lionshare of the wealth + a substantial portion of the guys earnings from then on, AND keep the children while the man gets very very little time with them. then, women sit around and ask each other, "why are guys all so scared of marriage?". LOL
