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.
