Sorry let me reword my last post. If a stay at home mom and her husband gets a divorce, does she get half the money he made when they were together?

Question

I don’t think it’s fair that she’ll leave with nothing when she took care of their kids the whole time as he worked, and she took care of her husband as well.... with her husband barely taking care of the kids

Answer

You’re answers are going to be the same as your last post. If they get divorced, the court will likely award child support and alimony. The amount is going to vary. She doesn’t just automatically get half of his income. That’s not how it works.

Answer

This is the case in my country and I think that’s fair. Any money acquired throughout the marriage is divided equally. You decide as a couple that someone will be a stay at home parent, they should not be left with nothing because of that.

Answer

Do you mean.. That "she" would get 50% of all the money he made during their marriage? Or 50% of all the money built up in savings?
I think the assets will be divided but it will not be 50/50.
In some cases the reason for the divorce may play a role in the division

Answer

Not necessarily. Assets will be divided somehow but it won’t be a 50\50 split

Answer

She is entitled to half of the money in their bank account unless there is a prenup involved. Then she and the husband can either work together to decide on alimony & child support or go through the courts.

Answer

It varies by state, in Texas half of all marital assets are the wife’s.

Answer

Heavily depends on the state.  Alimony usually isn't considered until after a specific time frame of the spouse not working at all (ex: 7 years) but it's not as common as it used to be.  
If you are considering divorce and currently have no income it would be wise to consult a lawyer before taking any action.

Answer

Depends on the country. Depends on the state. 
Each states laws are different!

Answer

Texas is a community property state so if you lived here you would get 50% of what was accumulated during the marriage

Answer

Since you’re not being super specific as to your situation, contact a lawyer.
