North Central Illinois | I'm not lawyer a but in many states it hinges almost entirely on what each party brought to the marriage. If your friend had the land and machinery or part of it when they got married he might be able to hold onto it. If he acquired everything after they were married she is entitled to half of everything. She might not have been a part of the business but she still likely contributed to the marriage monetarily or otherwise and that makes her an equal partner. If she had a multi million dollar business that she built during the marriage but he wasn't involved with at all, do you think your friend might expect some money or part of the business from her if she was worth substantially more than him? Your friend may be getting a royal screwing on this deal. I have no way of knowing. I am however astonished at the attitude of many on here toward their wives and women in general. Marriage is a partnership. You aren't buying and indentured servant that you can cut loose without anything anytime you want. | |
