Its disgusting in my opinion. Neither a woman or a man should be entitled to that much of someone else’s accomplishments. I think a person should be entitled to have what they brought to the marriage plus a set amount designed to help transition out of the relationship. Child support is a separate issue. That said I still dont see how any kids need several hundred thousand dollars per month.

Except they're bourgeois pigs who didn't accomplish anything anyway

Also, what if one person is a stay at home parent? They're helping and working just as hard if not harder than their partner, but they don't make money. Should they just leave with nothing?

Kids have the right to benefit from the wealth/earnings of both their parents, as they would if the parents were together.

What if the majority of wealth was created during the marriage?

If both parties are equally involved in earning that wealth, they can both be entitled to half.

If one earned all the money, and the other earned nothing, the latter should not be entitled to anywhere near half.

So if both people in the relationship have the exact same job with the same pay. They come to a mutual decision that one of them will be the full time child carer for their children as it suits both parents over any other alternative.

Now the parent still working can further progress into their career earning progressively more money. They divorce 20 years after that decision and it is your opinion that because they didn't earn that money they are entitled to way less than their partner?

As somebody that works in law that is not equitable at all to me. You've made a joint decision to impact someone's career and future earnings for everyone's benefit and now they are being punished for it unduly.
