Hypothetical question: The soon-to-be ex wants more than 50% of the marital assets, when she makes a 1/3 of the husband's salary and didn't pay anything for the house, cars, or kids. What to do?

You will probably date again and possibly re-marry. The chances of an older female finding that are few and far between. She devoted her life to raising your kids instead of building a steady career. How is 50% not fair?

"Now, a woman can climb the corp ladder quicker than their male counterpart"....you are sorely mistaken and you are stuck in the 1950's....wake up, equality is a fight that we still fight every day, in many many ways - including fair and equal pay for women. Also, marriage is a partnership - it's not your money or hers, it is a partnership.

There is no way around the 50% unless you sign a prenuptial agreement. You bought the kids??

KPMG - so if she does end up remarried should she be forced to pay back everything? Your premise doesn't hold water. Also, plenty of women work and raise families. The two are not mutually exclusive, ok?

I really don't want to speak ill of her (as frustrated as I am), but I feel like she's spent a lot of marital money on frivolous things. And she did not raise the kids. They were raised by their actual mother.

If I see one more article on how millennials are ruining the economy or housing market by not buying enough homes or selling enough homes I'm going to scream. We were saving for 3 years before Covid and had to use a solid chunk to take care of ourselves and our families during quarantine. Now that we're ready to save again inflation and COL are at an all-time high and we're headed into a recession. And somehow this is my fault for what...not being a boomer? Bffr.
