===========================================================
When you get married...What's yours becomes theirs, what's theirs becomes yours.
==========================================================
If you were foolish enough to specifically agree to this, in front of witnesses, then yes--you have no excuse for complaining. In my case I made NO SUCH AGREEMENT, but later found that I had been, somehow, credited with having made it anyway.
I think that you simply allowed yourself to be snookered into not only being ripped off, but into thinking that there was nothing wrong with it. At least I understand and realize the outrage that this represents!
===========================================================
Is it worth losing the joy of living over, or have you always been this way?
===========================================================
I wasn't born aware of the lengths to which people will go to finesse legalized theft but, unlike most (and especially most women) I had some experiences as a young man, which made this clear to me. Nonetheless, I was unable to imagine the brazenness with which this is practiced, in divorce law, until I had already been married once, divorced, made my fortune as a single man and then married again. After all of this, then, I had to hear my second wife insist that one-half of everything I had was hers unless I could prove that it wasn't, by providing a meticulously detailed record of the location and seperate status of every dollar I had, since I first made it or it was first deposited to any of my accounts. At first I laughed at such a ridiculous and impossible suggestion (I couldn't even remember how many accounts I had since marrying her*), but THEN I STARTED RESEARCHING THE LAW. It turned out that she was right!
NO ONE should be rewarded for years of struggle and sacrifice by being robbed!
*Financial institutions THROW AWAY all records as soon as they are no longer required, by law, to be maintained. Tax returns, even if still available, are insufficient to prove seperate property.
Q. What happens to a lawyer or a politician if you give them Viagra?
A. They get eight inches taller!
