Everyone heard of golddiggers and how they marry someone rich then get divorced to get half of everything. Why is this allowed/normal?
In: Other
Historically the man made the money to support the woman and the woman was a housemaker that raised the family. That meant that if they only gave things to the person who had made the money to buy them… then the guy would traditionally wind up with everything and the woman would be left with nothing. Which is a pretty unfair system when she contributed a lot to the wellbeing of her family, too.
As far as “golddiggers” go, there *are* prenuptial agreements couples can sign before marriage to prevent a partner from getting so many assets post-divorce.
