..in a divorce just for being there? If your husband/wife spent the entire marriage mooching off of you (no steady income, never had kids to raise, didn't do much around the house,etc), do they deserve anything? I say hell no.

According to who?
Most who ask for half don't see themselves in this light. Most who are "losing" half think they are getting taken to the cleaners by a lazy, good-for-nothing. It would be nice to hear from an impartial party on what the real circumstances are.

When you shape it like this, it seems you are trying to draw people to a pre-determined conclusion. There is no one right answer to this. I've heard/read about some divorce settlements that have left me scratching my head. A lot of guys get shafted in divorce settlements. And a lot of women do as well. It's better to try to have a healthy marriage and try to avoid divorce to begin with!

I agree. Unfortunately "impartial" applies to neither spouse. So who gets the final say?

Hell no they don't..but..tell a judge that and see where it gets you.
If your spouse was 50/50 in the marriage as far as income or if she raised your kids as a sahm,then that's different..if it was like my first marriage with no kids involved and just her hanging out,then no way...didn't quite work like that for me though

It doesn't matter what the spouse or we think they deserve. It's what the law allows. If a guy moves into a woman's house, and she's making the house payments, and they divorce, he can get 50% of what she's put into it. If her parents give the couple the downpayment for the house, he gets 50% of that if they divorce. "Deserving" has nothing to do with it.

Well sure. It would have been better not to have married a filthy layabout, but clearly you didn't know that at the time.
