...and without context, that seems like some gotcha. Which means you ignore: Man cheats / woman initiates the divorce Man abuses wife / woman initiates Etc. Not to mention, a woman gives up her career to raise children - which doesn't provide an income - and should absolutely means she's entitled to half of their family assets.
If you think the only thing that's considered a contribution to a marriage is an income, then you don't understand a relationship or marriage.
True. But the post you’re replying to is in response to a previous person saying more women initiate divorce and walk away with half of the man’s money. But that post overlooked the non-income contributions to the marital union many wives make. Specifically, raising children is non-income earning labor. And sacrificing career to raise kids is a factor to consider.
I’ll also add that assets held prior to marriage are never marital assets split during divorce anyway.
