Hulk Hogan getting a divorce

[BobbyFresco]

I'm going to speak on the prenup/marrying a athlete/pro-ho deal.

Let me start by saying, I will gladly sign a prenup. A prenup is an excellent idea when the divorce rate is 50% now a days. Smart, independent women should look into one just as well as men. It's not an insult to women, IMO. I won't sign anything I don't agree with though. It's a 2 way street.

Let me say next that just because the women isn't "the star" or "the bread winner" of a relationship doesn't mean she hasn't "worked". Lots of times, women stay home to take care of the house and the children while the man works. Sometimes it's a better idea financially. Sometimes it's a matter of morality and how they want to raise their children. That's obviously an agreement that they make together based on what they think is best for THEIR FAMILY. If a divorce happens and this is the case, I believe the women is absolutely entitled to 1/2.

I also have a scenario that is personal but still carries over to a lot of women. Contrary to what people think they know about me, I helped start and maintain our business. I have worked long and hard...for $0 pay for years because it was a better idea financially to have me do the office work rather than hire out someone to do it. That was a decision we made together. It's a little different in our case currently since we aren't married, either way, I have contributed to our business equally. When it comes time for us to get married and if we both decide we want a prenup, I will be sure that my interest are protected on that matter. There are many "stars" or "bread winners" whose wives have done back office or background work for free, where someone else would have had to have been put on the payroll to do what she did....for "free" or in lieu of going out and getting a "job".

I agree with the fact that the women should have to get a job after divorce. You need to think about the fact that they may have to have some time to be qualified for a job in the work force. I'm 30. I quit college to work at the shop. I have no "job references" for the past 4 years. I have no "skills" aside from the bar tending I used to do. I sacrificed a college education for our business' best interest at the time. Now, if Dan and I split, I need a reasonable amount of time to get myself back in order. A college education takes at least 4 years per say. It's not fair to assume I am going to work at McDonald's just because my man's career never had to be put on hold for my college.

Your situation is far different from that of Linda Hogan.
YOU worked. She hasn't. She hasn't ever set foot in a ring for a match. He did.
She wasn't ever the face of any type of endorsement deal. He was.
She didn't appear in any movies. He did.
She doesn't have any residual income earning potential from a career or name. He does.

So, who is she to now benefit from his life long hard work.
He has the recurring health issues caused by said life long hard work.
She doesn't.
His name is worth some weight and obviously a few dollars. Hers is not.
All she has done is lay on her back while he impregnated her and spit out a few kids which I'm sure she didn't raise solely on her own. The argument that she mothered these kids and therefore she should be compensated for what she is SUPPOSED TO DO carries no weight with me....

To compare or attempt to liken your situation to hers is like comparing apples to oranges...Where as YOU ACTUALLY PUT IN TIME AND HARD WORK INTO A BUSINESS, she has benefited from a franchise if you will, that Hulk Hogan built on his own merit. I'm sorry but I don't think she deserves ANYTHING.

As far as prenups are concerned, I think that 99 percent of the time they are not made to benefit both parties. Usually, that's the point...and it's not just men that do it..Women have prenups drawn up as well. Ex: Britney Spears. Kfed didn't really get s h i t after they got divorced.....I'm sure his only saving grace is that he's getting child support.

So on your arguement, regardless if she was his partner when he made that money, since she did not star in the movies and be in the ring she's not entitled to anything? I'm not saying women like that should never have to work after the divorce, but they are entitled to something. Just because a woman does not work again doesn't mean that she isn't doing something to for the benifit of the relationship. We don't know what life was like in the hogan house. Maybe she did more then we are seeing. Certainly she worked behind the scenes to support and love her husband in many of the years when he was making "his" money. I could never look at my wife and say that if I made money going to work, she isn't going to get **** cause she did not go to work herself. I find that women provide support behind the scenes more often then not that is very hard to place a monetary value on, yet is impossible to replace.

short version : Yes women should have to work after a divorce, but most of the time they are entitled to some part of the marriage's wealth. (the exception being when they knowingly and willingly violated the vows of the marriage, i.e. cheated or something on that par) If they did something like that then hang em out to dry.

That is one hell of a quote.

The fact is, you don't know what she contributed. I used my situation as an example. There are plenty of people who think they know my situation and what I may or may not have contributed. Some of those people think I am just some stupid woman who sits at the front desk as mooches off of my man...OR that think my endorsement deals are only because of Dan's talent or whatever it may be. Therefore, I don't deserve sh!t. No one except Dan and I really know what I have contributed and what I deserve. In a "stars" case, there is such a thing as a manager. Often times, you don't ever hear or see that manager publicly. Therefore, you may not even know they exist. Often times this manager is a significant other or family member. Maybe this was her job...which is similar to my job

You are right to say that she "spit out" his children. Raising children is hard work. Especially when the other half is constantly on the road, I'm sure. It is a job. A job that is gets little recognition and little appreciation. I'm not in their relationship so I'm going to keep it general. Generally speaking, when a woman stays home, it is a decision made between both parties for her to do so. There is probably a benefit of some sort for her to do so, or else she probably would have had to get a job. You can't think that a woman stays home for 30 years and her man doesn't agree with the situation.

There is a certain sacrifice that a woman makes when she stays home. Whether you want to agree with me or not. I experience it all of the time. If I leave now (we'll use me as an example), I have nothing. I have spent the last 7 years building up my man and his dreams and his career and even intertwined mine into that. In doing so, I have sacrificed all of the plans I had in the works for myself for the sake of a partnership. In the end, that's what a marriage is...a partnership.
