Better off than what? Better off than if she stayed married- probably not. Better off than she would be without confiscatory alimony and common property laws- doubt it.

Listening to all these whiney loser-men venting hatred about women certainly makes me want to marry them.

Ever wonder why you can't find conservative women? When you spew so much hate, conservative women have enough sense to run the other way.

In your opinion, should an ex wife then receive less than half of community property?

I detect you may have been hurt in a divorce.

She wasn't better off either way; married to an adulterer, or left out to dry after years devotion to him. Also, as noted in my previous post, she started her career twenty years late, and will retire at 80 instead of 60. She lives in a small apartment. Meanwhile, the ex has a beautiful home, and is looking forward to a leisurely trek across the country in a couple of years. I'd hardly say she's had any benefit from "confiscatory alimony and common property laws."
