i can't really agree with the way divorce is handled in most cases.. personally i think that anything belonging to either party shouldn't be involved in divorce court.. for example, if the wife owned the house before meeting the husband, the wife should retain ownership of the house, and it shouldn't even need be mentioned during the divorce. anything thats gained during the marriage is fair game, but still shouldn't always be split 50/50.
any gifts from either side's family should also not be considered i think. especially inheritance.. a good friend of mine divorced his first wife a few years ago, his grandfather left him a good size inheritance, good chunk of cash, few classic cars they had restored together, etc mostly sentimental stuff. at the divorce he got the house, she got pretty much everything else.. including his inheritance from his grandfather.
i can't really say the way divorce works bothers me all that much to be honest. marriage seems to be treated as something disposable nowadays, if your going to get married you damn well better be 100% positive your marrying the person you think you are.
