Because everything you accumulate during your marriage is marital property and gets divided 50/50 or close to it.

The fact that you chose to save and she chose to spend doesn’t matter at all.

You could have saved $100,000 and she could have racked up $100,000 in credit card debt. You guys get divorced and get to split your $0 in assets because everything accumulated in your marriage is split 50/50 in the end.

Do you guys think I do not know rules? My question is why it is the f… that way?

Its because you were an idiot and didn't cash out the 401k prior to divorce

If you live in a community property state she’ll get 50% of everything regardless if she earned it or you did. Anything earned while you were married is considered “community property”. Anything earned prior to marriage or after date of separation, which is considered date served/file, is considered separate property.
