[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]It's not HHI if you stay home. It's his income.[/quote]

presumably she works at home. this is labor as well and has value--the idea that she has no power or right over their income because she has chosen to take on unpaid labor as an offset to what otherwise would be a joint expense (childcare and other forms of house work) is sexist and outdated.

I generally agree with this but let's be serious non nanny/housekeeper is making 250 k[/quote]

If courts thought this way them SAHMs should not be eligible for 50% of net worth. Thank God society and courts put more value on a wife, mom who chooses to stay at home. [/quote]

Which is why I should have walked as soon as I found out my exDW wasn't planning to work during the marriage.

Attention young men: the first step to her filing for divorce and taking half your possessions is when she quits work.  When that happens prepare to exit the marriage.  [/quote]

Hmmm. I quit work 11 years ago, we are still happily married. Your bad choice is your own.[/quote]

Exactly and I am warning others, don't let your wife stay at home.  One day she will take half of everything you worked so hard for.  In my case it took 20 years of freeloading before the divorce happened.  [/quote]
