Why do most women feel that they should take 1/2 of rich guys money if only married under 10yrs?

You have a lot of valid points there,abut you seem to be adding spousal support in with child support in a few places. like the 50k/mo example. In the case where the man has made a fortune before marriage the wife should only be entitled to a percent of what is earned after the marriage date while they were married. Prenups should be unchangeableto prevent unlawful enrichment.>_<.

I have an idea about what you're talking about. Your thoughts seem pretty nice, although I think prenups establish these credentials in the first place. However, you are right, prenups should remain constant regardless of circumstance and should not ever be thrown out. Hopefully Tiger got a good prenup, or he's going to be $300 mill short, minus wife and kids as well. And if he did, it would make me so angry if the judge threw it out.

Personally, for celebrities it seems like marriage is a black hole. I constantly hear of stars such as Paul McCartney and Nicolas Cage feeling the aftereffects of a nasty divorce with a gold digger. You think they'd be smarter or something, but apparently they're as dumb as the next guy. If I was making upwards of $500,000 a year earnings, I would make sure to get a good prenup before I married, just as a precaution, because if she really loves me she would accept the fact that she would never divorce, as is sworn in marriage.

essentailly corrupt family courts have created a pervese incentive system in which husbands - men are 'worth' more divorced, than in an intact family. Your formula based on years of marriage is a bad idea, because it encourages divorce, such as California which has the 10 year rule, causing so many celebrity divorces after 9 years. The courts should never offer an incentive to divorce, nor let women think they will profit from divorce. Women initiate divorce about 85% of the time now, it is mostly a financial decision, because women become independantly wealthier after divorce.

This is what prenups are for. If a rich guy does not use one, then he is an idiot.

However, the woman should be fairly compensated for what she did contribute during the marriage. If she paid for him to attend medical school, she should be entitled to a portion of all his future earnings, because she contributed materially to his career development.

Courts use a reference of "lifestyle to which the family has become accustomed" to determine CS and alimony payments. It assumes that both parties should maintain their standard of living, even if it is extravagant, after the divorce. I think that's bogus. Divorce is a choice, and part of the consequence of a failed marriage is a lower standard of living as a single parent. Everyone must sacrifice in a divorce.

It more compleax than that. But to simplify it...it's all about the kids. If you give the mother just enough wouldn't work. That doesn't take into consideration inflation ( it can take up to three months to change a court order), medical emergencies, saving for college etc etc etc.

I dunno...I kinda think a fool and his money are soon parted. After all, what actually did Elin Woods DO (that other classes of women couldn't) except squirt out a couple of infants, probably under the influence of a epidural drip narcotic.

Part of the problem is men; too often we nail our own coffins.

"Im not just bashing women on this......this is also for men married to rich women."

The ratio of men married to rich women to women married to rich men is 1:10000

So feel free to bash women on this subject, exclude the outliers on the standard deviation curve.

The reason this occurs is because most heterosexual women are self-loving narccisists, who are not sexually attracted to male bodies in the way males are sexually attracted to female bodies. So therefore rich ugly men marry hot models because the men are so sexually attracted to the females.

How many rich/any women marry hot men models? Not many. Playboy sells millions, Playgirl is going bankrupt. Hence clearly the sexual attraction towards the males hardly exists for the females.

“Women’s desire is not relational, it’s narcissistic — it is dominated by the yearnings of “self-love,” by the wish to be the object of erotic admiration and sexual need, more than finding the male body attractive." Dr.Chivers a female sexuality reasearcher

That last quote explains it all.........

In general, men and women have different roles.

He might have been out "earning" all that money. But, she was home; raising his kids, cleaning his house, making him meals, etc. That doesn't pay a dime.

She deserves something.

Oh and there are these things called prenups. He could have asked her to sign one before the marriage.

Rich men = the women's lottery.

I think that people should decide if they want a pre-nup by themselves. It really isn't my business to make decisions for other people. Nor yours. As I have said before - the guys posting here don't have much to worry about.
