If I had worked 50 years of my life only to have a short term woman take half of everything i worked for, I would use the other half to hire a hitman.
Not always the womans fault....but in most cases I witness, it is the woman caught being unfaithful
They must have had bad lawyers. My ex-wife only got 1/2 of everything accumulated between June 1996 and September 2003. Everything before our wedding day and everything after the day she walked out came off the table.
I still had my account statements, and could show my balances at the end of May 1996. Keep records, just in case.
She can't even collect SSI on me as we were not married more than 10 years.
Sounds like your buddies at work had bad representation.
PS, like I said before, men and women are involved in affairs in statistically equal numbers. Very few who are having affairs are having "same sex" affairs. So for every cheating man, there is a woman, for every cheating woman, there is a man. It's a character fault, not a gender based fault. Bad character is equally represented by both men and women.
