OK, but now that union is being broken. Should she continue to have access to those items?


I think the divorce laws are remnants of a time when marriage meant something more than it does now. However, I would prefer not to throw the baby out with the bath water, meaning I personally wouldn’t vote to change the laws in a way that made women more vulnerable to financial hardships post divorce. What I’m thinking of is the multiple situations I know of where women ended up struggling the rest of their lives while the husband moved on and had a fine life even if he took a financial hit from the divorce. These modern situations where the woman earns as much as the man are still not the norm and either way, I think men are naturally protected in that we can easily remain attractive into older age.
This OP, where the woman has a good job and filed for divorce, well, she can get bent. Unless OP is lying about the situation.

If she was obsessed with her kids she wouldn’t want them to grow up in a broken home.

Then she shouldn't break a contract. Again, I think the Nordic countries have it right, and we have it wrong. Contract is terminated, you no long receive the benefits of that contract (with certain reasonable exceptions).
