> But the idea that your wife or husband contributes half of your work is not something I agree with.

If you believe that, you really shouldn't ever get married, most certainly not in a community property state. Washington state is a community property state, which means that all of Amazon is equally both of theirs, legally.

It's more correct to say that you shouldn't ever get divorced in a community property state. If Amazon were based in Texas, it'd be a very different situation. When it comes to divorce, it doesn't matter where you made the union, it's where you're dissolving it.
