re: Is there ever a situation in divorce where the woman doesnt get half your shite?

Whatever you inherit is not subject to the community.

Aside from that, you have only been married five years. Cut your losses and move on. Sounds like you're young enough to start over.

Hopefully, no kids involved.

Also remember that in addition to the assets that go into the community, debt incurred also goes into the community.

Find a way of coming up with $25,000 cash (even if you have to take out a loan), and offer her a certified check for the amount in exchange for releasing all claims to your assets. Eyes can go "ga ga" when that check is whiffed in front of their nose.
