I get that some say the woman takes the man, but all the women who I know who gotten divorced that wasn’t the case.
Most end up out of a house and in an apartment, with half the debit and about 40% of the income.
They all work but make less which is normal than their husbands.
None get spousal support (except one) and the child support is really low. My niece receives $50 a month for each of the four kids, and her former makes $7K a month. (Just an example).
My daughter, receives nothing because the dad gets the kids two days a week. Their salaries are the same and she covers all expenses (like medical/dental and extra stuff like music). He is supposed to pay the deductible but wont.
My sister after 25 years of being a homemaker, received $50 a month in spousal support for three years. The kids were teenagers and she did not receive child support.
Ok, which has nothing to do with the question I asked.
Is it really the more common that men get the shaft?
I am really curious about this, maybe they all need better lawyers.
Or is it that neither party is treated fairly, and on occasion someone is shafted.
I have no personal (expect family and friends) with this, been together with husband 40 years, 3 months and 12 days ;-)
