Well thats how it works in germany where I live. Unlucky for u. I thought us would be the same. Since there is wellfare from the state u don't need to pay her anything if u agreed on it before.
That's why u make a marriage settlement. If I for some reason made a mistake/overlooked something about her and we get a divorce she will be left with nothing but the clothes on her body (which I also paid for tbh) No way I make someone rich just by divorcing me
She's a 20-year-old bartender?!?! Serving what? Soft drinks and Kool-Aid?! Not every where the drinking age is 21 tbh. Realistically speaking only in around 10 percent of the western hemisphere. Probably MUCH lower
