when u get married do u think ur intitled to half

i fear married,that means you are killing your freedom yourself.

No, i don't think that the wife is entitled to half of everything. I am a wife and if something ever happened to my husband and i, God forbid, then it would be i would take what was mine going into it and he would take what is his. I wouldn't ask for alimony. I would expect him to pay child support, but that money would go to our daughter not to me. I have never been a vendictive person, nor would I ever start being one. That is not fair to him or to me. What would it do, but only cause problems. i wouldn't take the house either. i would take my vehicle, which is in my name, but everything else like his truck and his boat would be his. i wouldn't try to get it just to get back at him. i think that is totally wrong and women that do that just have to much anger and vengence in them to deal with anything. God bless

I think it's pretty offensive to accuse every stay at home mom and housewife of being some kind of pampered princess who never did anything and deserves nothing. "He worked so you should go shopping all day, and do whatever you want"? Sorry, but THAT is the BS. Mothers do quite a damn bit more than shop all day and do whatever they want. If they built their lives together, they are entitled to equal shares. Most especially if they have grown children. If you get married when you both are on an even keel, and you build a life, wealth or lifestyle together, you are equal, even if one of you didn't contribute in a monetary value. I also don't appreciate the sole attack on women. When my parents got married, my mother had been the sole breadwinner and did all the cleaning, shopping and my father did little more than offer perfunctory babysitting services when my mother was working and spend copious amounts of money on useless technology. He contributed nothing whatsoever, not support, not housework, not monetary work and was even abusive to her and their children. When they were divorced, he received $183,000, three of our four vehicles, the entirety of my mother's retirement fund and the rights to withdraw from her Social Security. Do you think THAT is fair?

The question is slightly awry as the situation you talk of is not "when you get married" it refers to a period many years later. There is no entitlement in divorce to half but to view being a homemaker and child rearer as then entitling you to "nothing" is wrong too. Unfortunately divorce is always painful and frequently nasty especially from the inside. I do believe that decisions to have children, raise them etc are taken jointly and as such if you are married and these are the choices taken then you earn the right to potentially half the joint assets. There is in my opinion rarely a one-sided blame divorce. When a woman gives up all career opportunities to raise a family and the husband obviously agrees to this choice then effectively she is working in the home for both of them and his pay check and rewards are for both of them. Thus at a later date the "spoils" are for both of them. At any point either could have chosen not to continue the arrangement so crying foul later is not an option in my opinion. I do however believe in clean break divorces no supporting for forever. Anyone who views childrearing/home making as a lesser job hasn't done it lol
