Why are women entitled to so much in the divorce? And why do they have no guilt in taking money that doesn't belong to them?

That's a pretty broad brush stroke. Would you care to elaborate?

If the judge is giving her more than 50% then she is getting money that doesn't belong to her but I doubt that's the problem. Is it that you have in your mind that since you earned more than she that you're entitled to more? Doesn't work that way. Marital assets are owned by both of you-100% so when it comes time to separate assets, 50% is obviously fairest. She should have no guilt in leaving with her 50%.

That question just bugs me. My H earns way more money than me and he thinks that if we should get a divorce I shouldn't ask for child support because he would bring me money for our child. why is that my child and I should live in a hut to leave him to keep everything and live nicely. Everything that we have acquired was gotten during the marriage so that it makes it ours. So why wouldn't I be entitled to 50% of the business we started together. My H went as far to tell my friends that if I asked for child support he would never come to see his child who he calls his princess. How cruel!
God will never take me through more than I can handle!

Child support is not something you/he can opt out on. If you have custody, then he'll be required to support his child. What is wrong with him? Does your atty know he is making these horrible comments?
You do deserve 50% of the business and don't settle for less. Don't let him threaten you or intimidate you into anything less. Stand your ground because you only have one time to get it right. Also have him give a full accounting of funds. With this attitude, he's probably hiding assets that you have ownership.
If your atty isn't a bulldog..then find one who is..and make sure you're are informed as well about the state of your marital finances.

I wouldn't say that's true across the board. In my case, I got nothing (except monthly child support) because of a state law that says anything bought with inheritance money belongs to the one who inherited the money, not both of you. Shortly before I left him, he had bought our house, cars, furniture, everything of value and gotten rid of the old due to a $250,000 inheritance. In the divorce, I got nothing, even tho 12 years before when we got married, I was the only one who owned a car and furniture. I even lost many of my personal things because I had to leave him under sheriff's protection and was never able to go back and retrieve things I forgot.
