We’ve agreed to have one, should we make it that far. It was my idea, and he wasn’t crazy about it at first. I told him to think about it like an insurance policy: you might never use it, but just in case. Besides, the time to decide these things is when everyone feels like being fair.

In one divorce that I know of, the part of the spouse’s retirement fund that had been earned BEFORE the marriage was regarded by the court as sole and separate. Earnings that accrued after the marriage were split 50-50.

@ Thisiswhyubroke: I need a wife. Tell you what: come on over to my housem — you can be the stay-at-home spouse and I’ll run down to the office and earn the living. Of course, you’ll keep the house clean, keep up the yard and pool, do minor repairs and maintenance, raise the kids, schlep them to school and extra-curricular activities, see to it that they learn to read, write, and do math, feed them, take care of them when they’re sick, do all the grocery and clothing shopping, manage the budget, have a decent meal on the table when I get home from work, be dressed and groomed so as not to present me with an eyesore when I come home, be prepared to entertain my clients and business partners at the drop of a hat, and look like a million dollars when I have to take you out in public. Oh, and incidentally…I expect to be entertained in bed each night — no excuses. And get your lazy butt off the sofa!

If someone is paying your room and board, car note, hair weave payments etc, thats called a FREE RIDE. YOU chose to be a stay at home mom for your own reasons. Noone forced you. Ontop of that you’re going to act like you didnt get your lifestyle paid for all of those years and now want half of the assets from the person who PAID for your laziness? Come on…
