Our thanks to Ken for this. Women’s greed following divorce knows no limits. Any man in the UK – and many other developed countries – who marries a woman today (and indeed for many years past) is, in my view, clinically insane.

Let’s be honest here. Women are almost always obsessed with “keeping the house” as they tend to have both a financial belief that property is a good asset and an emotional attachment to “things”. It’s easy to see how this plays out. Of course the more generous valuations of pension pots, beyond the value at the time of the divorce, is based on the assumption that the earner continues to earn and pay into the pension until retirement age.
One interesting thing for men to consider is their wives pensions. As there are now few pensions remotely as valuable as those in the public sector, and the vast majority of public sector workers are female and the sector is such a massivecoart of the economy . It is likely that the wife’s pension is more valuable. Particularly the ones paid directly from taxes, Any and all health professions, teaching, nursing, the national civil service and its many “agencies” and police. Not to mention the many jobs in local government underwritten by the “rate payer” . I’m sure many men do not have a good valuation of their spouses “gold plated” pension.
