Legally doesn't make it morally right. I know a lot of this B.S. goes on (where one partner is working his fingers to the bone, while the other is partying and carousing. Do you ever wonder about the cause of so many domestic homicides? It's definitely not right but there are times when a man (woman) can only take so much.
You missed a vital point SJP... it was common law which thanks to 2009 is just as good as marriage.
Oh ya, it doesn't matter if she came with nothing she can still get half, Like all my computer stuff that got stolen with my last girlfriend. I told the cops, they didn't care because we were common law, and apparently its all fine and dandy for her to take what she wants.
Good thing when you take a car on a test drive you aren't forced to buy it.

If there is any equity built in the house, then what courts usually do is that they order the house to be sold, pay off the mortgage and split the leftover profits 50:50 for the two spouses. Unless one spouse wants to buy the share of the other spouse so he can keep the house.
You're batting just about a thousand for being wrong this morning, S.J. Why would I have to live in a cave if I didn't pay taxes, when I'm living in a house and paying taxes? If I didn't pay taxes I'd have another 40% to put toward a dwelling place.
Legality and morality are two totally different things, JLM. Besides, I don’t see anything morally wrong with it anyway.
Now, I don’t know the circumstances of your friend. But normally if the woman is not working outside the home, she is a housewife and keeping house, looking after the children etc., so that husband is free out go out and earn money. So indirectly she has contributed as much to the household as he has; only her contribution is of different nature. He may have contributed money, she has contributed her time raising the kids, cooking and cleaning for her husband etc.
So I would say that in most cases it is right and proper that the community property is split 50:50, regardless of who actually paid for it. Again, I cannot comment on your friend’s case, I don’t know the circumstances.
That may be the way it is but it certainly doesn't make it right. Is there no penalty or repercussions these days for "screwing around"?
yeah, this I know, I had not very much equity in mine when this happened.
And even if I had, I would have burn't it to the ground before giving that twat a penny.
"But normally if the woman is not working outside the home, she is a housewife and keeping house, looking after the children etc., so that husband is free out go out and earn money.

He may have contributed money, she has contributed her time raising the kids, cooking and cleaning for her husband etc."- Yep, often with applicances that he has financed so she can get all the housework done by the time the bar/bingo hall opens. Most women aren't like this but I can assure you there are a few who are. If you don't believe that you are naive.
Switzerland does not have any taxes? How do they finance roads, welfare, infrastructure etc? Do they hold a referendum every time they want to do some road construction or do they take up a collection plate? That doesn’t make sense.
And Alaska does have taxes. Maybe the state has no income tax, I don’t know (it is an oil rich state), but Alaska citizens have to pay federal income tax. Alaska definitely has taxes, the only way it cannot have taxes is if it breaks away from USA.
I don’t know how those other tiny entities can survive without taxes; they probably have some other source of income (like Panama probably gets its money by charging a levy to the ships passing though the canal).
What you have given are tiny states (except Switzerland, and I cannot believe that there are no taxes of any kind in Switzerland). These tiny entities probably exist on the services they provide to the rest of the world. They probably won’t be able to survive without input form rest of the world, which exists on taxes. So indirectly they are supported by taxes.

Interesting that you mentioned Alaska. I've had this argument many times before. The oil in the ground belongs to the people. For the government to collect a royalty on oil and use that money for services is, in essence, a tax.
