divorce....why do men get such a bad deal?

[Diane2]

seems men get a pitiful amount, if anything from the years of marriage.....my ex gave me the lot......coz im such a nice person.... but why do courts always seem to judge in favour of the "wife" even if shes a c*w?

discuss......

Cuz eddiem has the greater future earning capability.

 

[conny]

You tell me!
Does it still follow this route if she has had no financial input into the marriage?
What about if she hasn't worked for the past few years and money she earned previously was her 'pin money'?
Is the ex expected to keep her in this lifestyle if he is just an ordinary 'Joe Bloggs' type of worker or does it only apply to rich ex's?

 

[Diane2]

joes is right......as usual...

if ur ex was looked after.....treated like a queen..........cleaner...nanny.....sit on her backside doing nothing all day.....not working...she is seen as a low earner, so the judge hands everything over.
send her out to work........different story....

Don't have her name on any morgages etc then she can't take f*k all.

it doesnt work like that at all......she can still clean you out.....even if her name isnt on anything....

Don't think thats right seco. Once you marry you sign over half of everthing you own.

No you can't unless they can prove they have contributed to the bills etc.

The woman my Dad married hired a solicitor shortly after the ceremony to ascertain his wealth as she didn't believe his word that he had sweet fa.
Previous one cleaned him out and he wasn't even married to her.

 

[joe-90]

Your Mum then?

 

[Norcon]

She's nothing to me.

Not until the will's to be read.

 

[conny]

So lets look at the situation was reversed.
Say the woman was the bread winner for one reason or another.
Would she be expected to keep her ex husband?
