Wife of NBA great Dwight Howard files for divorce after 6 months. WANTS HALF OF EVERYTHING

[QP!]

So, you're upset that I mock you for being poorly educated hum? Sounds like a personal problem to me.

you need to not speak when you show how stupid you are by saying Mortgage Brokers and guys in the Finance Office at car dealerships can entirely make up fraudulent loan docs with fake jobs and income and submit them to as many banks as they want for loans and even if caught they cannot be charged and the gov't can do nothing as long as the loans are not funded and do not default.

You saying that is how the law works makes you amongst the dumbest poster on this forum and that is saying something.

Depends on what state she filed in. Cali and most blue states she could get half just because the state hates men.

It is in the original story, she filed in Georgia.

California would try to give her half the joint assets bought during the marriage. That marriage only lasted for 6 months, so that would not be half of all the assets he owns. He owned things before the marriage. And he has probably kept separate assets during the marriage.

Child support is NOT fine.

So women should not be allowed to get a no fault divorce, but men should not have to pay child support?

There is a total collapse in family values, on the right. They no longer believe in supporting a family.

I become old school Jewish at odd times, and this is one of them. The single most important thing in a family is supporting the children. Walking away from that is the actions of a crazy person. It should be completely unacceptable in society.

I'm only gonna say this once. I don't let negros or trannies talk that way to me.

Nobody cares what a Neo-Nazi loser like yourself "let's" happen. If you do not like the way you are talked to here, you are free to leave.

So why is a man's salary community property?

Men's and women's salaries are usually community property in community property states, but a prenup can keep that from happening. There is no difference between a man's salary and a woman's salary.

There are reports that Dwight has been cashing in, in Taiwan and has made as much as $160M so far in 2025.

So, if true that is what she would mainly be looking for half of (normalized to 6 months) and might have a good case to get.

I am a believer that substantial reform will come to these divorce laws, especially in blue States, for divorcing couples without kids and the amount of lump sum and alimony the lesser income spouse can get.

This model was created by a patriarchal system (mostly rightly due to mens abuse) to try and provide some security and wealth to woman who historically could be left penniless and have the children taken away because she had no means (income) to provide a home. The man could be cheating, leave her penniless and take the kids, to his new home. Obviously that had to change.

And i would argue it did go too far in many ways.

Now however things are changing as many women are becoming the primary bread winners and trends in University graduation for advanced degrees show that will only skyrocket.

I already know of a few instances of it being the men getting a lump sum and alimony from a high powered executive wife, even when they had no kids.

Society does not look at the favorably generally and instead those men tend to get a lot of disdain. The loser, sits around all day playing video games on his ex wifes salary, is a very common view of that man.

It is again more likely to be seen as men taking advantage of women and that is what I think, will begin to drive the reform and move this to more of a balanced area in terms of lump sum and alimony.

So you think Dwight Howard should be forced to be married to his wife, and support her for the rest of her life?

unless she is physically abusing him, or he is physically abusing her, then yes. they made a decision to get married. they should have thought about that before making the decision

I have friends where she is an Executive Vice President for a top insurance company and she passed on being considered for CEO two years ago. She makes over 250K per year with bonus. Her husband is grade school teacher.

When they had their one child (she was not able to conceive a second due to health issues) she stayed home for the first 6 months and he then took leave and stayed home for the next twelve months.

They are a very successful nuclear family.

What does your view of 'gender roles' have to do with them?

the exception does not make the rule

 

[QP!]

the exception does not make the rule

increasingly less the exception and the trend is moving fast.

Women are graduating at 60/40 rate to men from top job degrees in University and that is growing and not slowing.

So what will you say when 'men' are 'not equal' in the relationship?

 

[QP!]

unless she is physically abusing him, or he is physically abusing her, then yes. they made a decision to get married. they should have thought about that before making the decision

Why?

I understand that is your view for you but why do you think you should be able to impose that on other?

If they can 'make a decision to get married', why can they also not 'make a decision to get divorced'?


Marriage is simply a contract and you see no contract in history that cannot be cancelled if all the parties who are signatories to it ALL AGREE to cancel it. Even irrevocable trusts can be cancelled if the one who initiated along with the parties all named agree to cancel it.
