when she wanted it
Very cynical Ron.
In my case, and I would suggest in many others who married young, also completely wrong.
When my wife an I married we had approximately the same assets - which was very little. We bought a house (at her insistence), had 3 kids, and separated after 22 years.
The house was sold for 16 times what we had paid for it. She got about 53%, and I got about 47%. She had the 2 older kids still at home, and the youngest came with me. The settlement was by mutual agreement, and we have stayed good friends ever since.
My share of the house sale (since re-invested) has allowed me to be comfortably off ever since, and retire in LOS at 57.
My (ex-) wife's contribution was certainly a great deal more than "spreading her legs".
What an offensive thing to say.
