Hmmm... I thought that's what community property laws were about - governing the accumulation of items DURING THE MARRIAGE, but not the future potential. After all, would you support a rule that says the woman, after being paid alimony for years, who wins a big lottery jackpot has to share that money with her ex husband?
Essentially, you are arguing that the man must forever hitch his ex wife's wagon to his locomotive, so that she enjoys all of the benefits but none of the risk of his future endeavors.
Hmmm... That would probably be even more detrimental to the foundation of marriage, if only because the perpetual obligations clause would make it prohibitively expensive for any young man in a potentially lucrative career track.
Community property laws were another way to limit the wife’s support when the husband developed a zipper problem. So under your scenario wife gets half the accumulated property, she has to spend it to live while husband gets his half plus his large income? You, sir, don’t know what you are talking about.
