I have a scenario for you and I would like your honest opinion on whether the wife in this situation is entitled to anything, because I am quite confused with what you're saying...

Husband goes to work out of town for 3 months and makes about $50,000 for the work. He get's home and bolts the minute he get's home, files for divorce and claims the full $50,000 because he went out of town and made that money. Do you think the wife is entitled to half of that money? While he was out of town, she worked her normal full time job and cared for the children full time.
