does it work bothways? if so, then just marry a rich woman, i bet u get 50-50 too.
the reason that men get screwed most of the time cuz men are the ones that are making more money.
 
Don't get married if you don't want to risk losing your stuff.

Marriage is taken very lightly in today's society, it's too bad.

on a side note, what also pisses me off, is the whole deal of the child support payments, and how they work, the rule is "The wife/child has to be supported in the lifestyle they were used to" so these guys have to continue to pay millions to them, in child support even after they have lost half there house, car, and other sh1t.. what burns me the most is the Child gets practically none of that, and the mother just spends the child support money.. what child needs 100,000 a month to live....
LOL, remember that Chris Rock special "Chris Rock: Bring on the Pain"

OMG, he was talking about divorce...it went something like this:

"Women be trying to get over in divorce. They're always talk about what they're accustomed to. What THEY are accustomed to. What about me? What about what a man is accustomed to? What about what "I" am accustomed to? I'm accustomed to gettin' my d!ck sucked twice along with a piece of her ass. How about that Your Honor?"

😛

She can have the alomony...but I want some p*ssy payments!

 
Heres the espn article.

He screwed up by not keeping his d1ck in his pants. His wife suspected something and hired a P.I. He came back with evidence Gordon was cheating on her.

Brooke Gordon argued her husband was worth more than he said. According to court filings, appraisals showed the value of the race teams at five times what Jeff Gordon reported in affidavits.

"The settlement recognizes what we contended was Mr. Gordon's net worth as opposed to what he contended it was," Young said.

Five times less than what he's worth? He's the one who fvcked up and deserves it. Now if it was the case where his wife is psycho and he's the good guy, I would side with him, but thats the not the case.

haha true comedic genius


 
Even a prenup can't save you. The woman can go to court and say, "Oh I didn't understand it", and that's enough for the judge to overrule.
 
So how does this 50/50 work? Half of EVERYTHING? So let's say I get divorced. me and my wife were married 5 years. Before we got married, I had $10K in savings, and she has $15K. After getting married, we buy a house (mortgage) and 2 cars (loan). We still have our seperate savings from before. So if I got a divorce, how is 50/50 done in this case, there are no real things, just mortgages and loans? What do I get?

depends, i would assume you loose the house, and would split any joint accounts.

the variable that screws you up is kids, then you loose more

Loose the house? But the house is barely paid for, it's a mortgage. So I just give up my name on the house, and transfer the mortgage onto her name? What if the mortgage company doesn't think she qualifies to pay for a house?

If I got divorced, I would be willing to give her half....

Yeah, if you both brought 50/50 or close to that in financial support. Then I would have no problems giving up half. But if I'm bringing in 100% of the income, I'd be like, "Bitch, get da f*&k out my face" 😀

for once I totally agree with you!!

She gets the house & cars, you get the debt.
 
what i really dont get, this is possibly the only political topic that i have never heard anyone say is fair, unless they are getting the money or child,

so why is it still this way? why has no one done anything about it?

edit: im not talking about this case where the guy cheated...but most people know or have heard of a case where the guy was a good guy and still got screwed
 
These days, odds are about 50% that a given marriage will end up in divorce. With numbers like that and given the perceived unfairness of divorce settlements towards men, it's difficult to understand why people (and men in particular) are so willing to jump into marriage in the first place.

As long as there no children involved, it seems to me that simply living together makes more sense. You have most of the benefits of marriage with relatively few of marriage's disadvantages.

divorce is one of the most fvcked up things about the american system............. men seem to alaways get screwed

Wrong the most fvcked up thing about the american divorce system is the no-fault divorce system. The courts simply don't care about the circumstances of a divorce, they are just interested in dissolving partnerships. This may be fine and dandy if you have two individuals who are amicable about a divorce. But in those situations where this isn't the case - watch out.

 
...but most people know or have heard of a case where the guy was a good guy and still got screwed[/quote]

I have to laugh about this, I can think of 3 cases offhand, of females I know who were carrying the financial burdens in their households prior to their divorce, yeah I can imagine their exes surprise when the child support rulings came down.
Reality is that in most cases of divorce the males income goes up in the years after the divorce, while the females declines. This is certainly true in my case, since I can not travel in my career due to day care issues.
 
I have no problem with 50/50 of what was accumulated or earned from the date of marriage.

I do have a problem with one party (usually the man) going into the marriage with significant assets and the other with nothing (usually the woman), and the latter being entitled to half of everything upon filing for divorce one year later.
 
They didn't have a prenup, from what I understand.

I'm pretty sure a prenup only protects the assests you had before you entered the marriage. So if you're worth $10 million after you were married, you're most likely going to have to give some of it up.
Wrong. The prenup protects whatever it says that it protects. What you own BEFORE you're married remains yours, at least in this state. Marital property is what you acquire after you're married. That's what the prenup is for. Someone like Gordon knows damn well that he's going to make plenty after he's married, so it is ridiculous to NOT have a prenup.
She is simply a gold digger, and I think this proves it.

The law is heavily tilted in favor of the woman, and in the past it was necessary. The dirty little secret about feminists is that they SAY they want equality, but in reality, they love the ability to rake men over the coals in court. They surely don't want equality in that arena.
