Reply #31: Ignorant?

[Nicole]

There are lots of straight, married couples with only one breadwinner. Ever hear the term "stay at home mom" or "stay at home dad"? There are lots of straight, married people who owned houses, savings accounts, etc. before marriage. They become marital assets after the marriage, their spouse becomes co-owner of those assets.

I owned my home before I was married. After I was married my husband's name was added to the deed & mortgage. It took both of us signing the papers to sell it when we bought a house together. I stayed home & raised kids. He worked and put money in a 401K plan. When we divorced I got half of that money, even though I contributed no money to it.

I can't believe you think you're so damn smart & yet you can't grasp the concept of marital assets? That being married would protect gay partners' rights to property?. Yet you have the nerve to think I'm ignorant?

Back at ya! :puke:
