“One problem: In a modern divorce, the man doesn’t get half the woman’s stuff. The woman gets to keep all her stuff and get half or more of the man’s stuff.”
What do you consider the man’s stuff? The 4-wheeler he bought instead of the new couch?
Assets the man owned prior to the marriage. Obviously, things bought during the marriage often should be split 50/50.
However, the way courts are now, things like his motorcycle collection, his record collection, things he had before the relationship? Sorry, she gets half anyway.
If he wants half of her paintings? Nope, sorry, no way.
Spend few days observing family courts doing divorces if you don’t believe me. Seriously, go and watch. I have. It’s eye opening.
By the way, I also do IT work for several Dallas area divorce attorneys. They *all* agree that the way the system is now the man gets utterly screwed in a divorce.
My wife and I have been married since we were babies, 6 children, ages 15 to 46 (2 youngest ones adopted), 14 g/children, 6 gg/children. I have very little "stuff" that I think of as "mine", wife is the same way.
The clothes in my closet, socks and underwear etc are mine, although I have seen her wear a shirt of mine on occasion, way too big for her. Just about everything else is ours. We've never thought of it any other way.
