[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That scenario sounds great for the husband. Your aunt would’ve been screwed in a divorce. I’d rather have the ability and expectation to support myself. [/quote]

My Aunt was love of his life, they were married 60 years. My Aunt had a sixth grade education. Hard to belive. But if alive today she be 96 and she was born a poor town in Northern Ireland. Under NYC law she gets half of husbands income and assets. She married him while he still lived at home and in college!!

Back in those days, women got the house, alimony and child support and 1/2 the assets. You are most likely too young to remember but in the 1960s the USA top Federal income tax bracket was 90 percent. And NYS Income tax 11 percent. My uncle was in top tax bracket.

She did go back to work for awhile when kids are older. The women and men at work all knew she was very very rich. I recally my Uncle saying she was paing 99 percent tax on her full time $10,000 a year job so taking home only $100 bucks a year. And in divorce my Uncle was entitled to 50% or $50 bucks. Back then Country Clubs were packed on Wednesday as a lot of Lawyers/Doctors only wanted to work 4 days a week as once you hit highest tax bracket why work 5 days.

So Dad worked Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday and Mom stayed home. My brother joined a country club in 1992 on Long Island and Wed was called Family Day still. Mom, Dad, Kids all come. [/quote]
