Divorced women are swelling the poverty rolls
No, I haven't gone crazy and that's not my opinion. That's the opinion of Carol Ann Wilson who penned the article "How to Help Older Divorcing Women Avoid The Bag Lady Blues" in the June issue of the Journal of Financial Planning.
Bag ladies....
According to her, a 50/50 split in a divorce is unfair to women. Her reasons?
The courts are trying to split marital property 50-50, yet they traditionally overlook one major asset of a marriage: the husband's career.
Wilson, who specializes in divorce issues and has written several books on the subject, asserts that in traditional marriages, the wife is not getting a big enough piece of her husband's future earnings potential.
"Property is divided just once, but career assets continue to produce income regularly for years," she says.
A 50-50 split might not be fair for the woman who followed a lesser career path to raise children while her husband went full tilt, gaining seniority at work and earning benefits like health and disability insurance and vacation pay.

Seriously, is there a reason why a man should get married these days? I mean, not only do these asset hungry bitches want everything, they want everything you haven't earned yet!! They are robbing you of your future. What right does anyone have to your future earning potential? And who the hell determines what my future earning potential is? What if I get layed off? Do I still have to make payments to my ex-wife based on what I potentially could be making? Why should I? I thought we got divorced, so why is she still in my back pocket? Ugh, i'm sick of this shit.
