Re: the McCartney/Mills divorce and some divorces in general 
Why should ppl think they're entitled to more than what they came with when divorce seems inevitable?
I can understand if two ppl both start out with nothing, achieve much together, then try to make an equitable split when they divorce.
 
I don't think this is right. I know prenuptial agreements would prevent a lot of this from going on, not even sure if they work either, but for whatever reasons, they're not always brought up beforehand.
 
What do you think?

I've been divorced...so I know marriage isn't always forever....The only thing I got was my two kids..and the clothes on our backs..No alimony, no child support..(my choice)  I just wanted out..
 
I think for years our judicial system always took the woman's side in divorces..Now that a lot of men are willing to raise their children themselves too, I think we will gradually see a change...
 
Many years ago women gave up working outside the home to be SAHM's.  It's just the way it was done.  After 10 or 20 years of being at home, she certainly wouldn't have the skills necessary to get right back out into the workforce and support herself (in the case of divorce)...So Alimony was one way to even it up some... 
 
Nowadays men and women are working equally...And therefore I personally don't feel the man or woman should be compensated other than their marital assets...(not personal)...I'm also a firm believer in separate bank accounts and money..period....Any material things should be divided equally...or sold and then divided..
 
Why are people so afraid of discussing finances?  You're about to get married !!!  From what I remember, money ranked way up there on the scale of reasons to argue in the first place...
 
A lot of people believe pre-nups takes the romance out of marriage...Well...divorce does too...and I'm sorry..but anyone that believes in happily ever after is deluding themselves...Yes..some people do make it and we all start out believing we will...but stats show that a good majority don't...Plan accordingly...
 
I am generous to a fault..but I haven't spent the past twenty years of my life working my butt off to have the things I want, just so some man can claim rights to half of it should it not work out...Whoever is in my future will be signing on the dotted line....lol....
 
I will always stand behind child support...Whoever has the children should have the help of the other parent..within reasonable guidelines..Some of the child support I've heard of is outrageous..I do not believe in spousal support though..
 
I could go on an on with this subject...I get very annoyed at all the women out there that give me a bad name by being greedy...Some even going after a guys retirement...

Well said  ---- ooh I love it when Blackhose goes on a roll   
 
I agree with most of what you said Blackhose yet again
 
I prolly see it abit different that I dont think I would separate the money but I do think what you had before I met ya should be yours and vice versa - not like this one (Mills) is doing - going for things she never had before
 
We dont have alimony in Australia - something that never came through - only child support
 
I agree with the - Whoever has the children should have the help of the other parent - I have seen too many just not work and not pay child support and one person is doing it all by themselves
 
When I met my ex husband - he had nothing - but I had some - not a BIG amount but was a starter for us (dep for a house) - of course they forget all that when ya split  --- but I didnt care I just wanted OUT!
