As someone who spent 4 years as a stay at home Mom, it really irks me when people imply that women get a financial gain from divorce. They don’t, they get their half of their money.

When I put my career on hold, and moved to the middle of no where, and risked my life to birth two children, and organized my life around caring for those children day and night without any real help, I was doing so under the understanding that me and my husband were partners.

Were me and my husband to have gotten a divorce during the time that I was a stay at home Mom, I would not have been taking his money, I would have been taking my money. Money that I earned. That's how partnership works. It's not his money or her money it's their money. If/when they part ways, they split their money.
