annual wealth transfer
in [Divorce]
|
From: Franklin Cacciutto on 8 Jan 2006 23:21 Has anyone ever calculated the total value of the wealth and property transfered through divorce settlements from men to women each year? I estimate that it must be many billions of dollars. Marriage historically used to be a way to preserve wealth and property in the male line. Modern divorce has completely reversed that. Franklin

I >>estimate that it must be many billions of dollars. I think it is generally considered to be a case of dividing *family* wealth and property between the two principals. With the majority of women being in the workforce nowadays, it really cannot be considered to be a case of transferring from men to women anymore >>Marriage historically used to be a way to preserve wealth and property >>in the male line.

To paraphrase humorist, Lewis Grizzard: Instead of getting married again, [Franklin], find a woman [you] don't like and just give her a house. :-/ Another Grizzard-ism: Life is like a dogsled team. If you ain't the lead dog, the scenery never changes. =R= |
