Why do women get to take a man's money after divorcing him?

In many states, all income earned by either belongs to both, because marriage means you are two players on the same team. When it's the man's earning that are divided in a divorce it's because he earned more.. For the team. To share.

Its the screwing you get for the screwing you got.

The women usualy gets the kids and has to support them, obviously it works the other way round too.

I fully see where you are coming from here. In this day and age, of so-called equality, it should be pointed out that it may be possible that a man could come out of a divorce with some entitlement to money from his ex-wife, but it is still overwhelmingly the case that a man takes the blame for the end of the marriage (in many jurisdictions a marriage can only be dissolved if there is blame apportioned, such as one party accused of or admitting to adultery), and normally, he can expect to suffer a financial loss. I cannot say I agree with it. Most jurisdictions have formulaic child support systems, so this should not be a matter for the divorce judge. I think they should stick to division of marital assets, and nothing else. It has always been my view that a divorcing couple should each take what they had before, and each should take what they have put in. Now, some things cannot be so easily quantified. If a couple have bought a house together and worked equally and contributed equally in monetary terms, then division is simple. But what if the man has given 20 years of salary to the house, and the woman has given 20 years of unpaid childcare? Does this have no value at all? Of course it has a value. But to go beyond reasonable amounts is not acceptable. Divorce the man, divorce his wallet too.

a divorce is separate from child support all children of the marriage will be supported by both parties until at least they should be capable of looking after themselves at least 18 years old after the children are looked after the husband and wife split whatever happens to be left over in most jurisdictions a married couple is entitled to each 50% of the net income while a common law couple might be entitled to a percentage equal to the input of each over the course of the relationship if the wife earned 30% of the income over 10 years and the husband 70% they would divide the assets accordingly common law depending where you live therefore might be an advantage over marriage prenuptial agreements are a good option if and when one party's income is well beyond what is needed to run a household if it costs $50K to operate the household for a year and your income is $500 K a prenuptial agreement could limit a potential partners divorce settlement to a figure based on that $50K annual income and when the roles are reversed and the females end up paying huge divorce settlements they are just as displeased one thing you can do is lose your job and limit your income to below poverty rates until the divorce is finalized if your income is too little for the government to tax no court will award a divorcing spouse money. they would probably base any decision on the assets that existed before the divorce lets not forget that if she is entitled to 50% of any assets she is also obliged to look after 50% of the Debts the courts are evolving though nowhere near fast enough to make many people happy will it ever be perfect? probably not
