£56m lotto winner must pay the ex who dumped him ten years ago

To be fair, if he was that bothered by it all, he had enough money to get the legal backing to make sure she got sweet f.a. He obviously opted for the easy, hassle free, option. Besides, £2m out of £56m isn't going to have a major effect on his living conditions, but the woman is going to have to live with the shame of being made to look like a complete arse in a national paper.

7 months of legal wrangling the hassle easy way out?
 
Nigel - who remarried after his win last February - is believed to be the first lottery winning hubby in the UK to be successfully sued for a slice of their winnings.
Nigel is thought to have agreed to the settlement rather than face the prospect of a larger payout to his ex-wife if the case had gone to court.
So he wasn't successfully sued, he settled out of court, top quality article there.
 
It's probably an excellent result. Now the whole world knows what kind of woman she is instead of just a few people

He has got all the pluses on his side: a new (and hopefully) loving wife, a daughter with whom he has a good relationship and 50 million quid!
 
Well, his own fault for getting married. Why any man would agree to getting married when the legal rights favour the wife is beyond me. You'd have to be a complete mug.

Oh, and to marry for the "love, the cermony etc"... Why just not have an unofficial cermony then and view yourselves as married without making giving away lots of legal rights to the other party? Because the soon to be wife wants proper marriage? Of course she does - otherwise she won't get £2 million when she leaves you for another bloke.
 
Absolutely disgusting :( She left him for another man... Took his daughter to play happy families with another man, hasnt wanted to know for 10 years and now all of a sudden its "Kaching ££££!" gosh i bet her eyeballs looked like slot machines when she heard the news :( Such a sad sad thing to happen, and I admire him for offering his child a trust fund... Shame the court didnt see it that way.
 
I would sooner have emigrated to Brazil than pay her anything and just send something over every now and then for the daughter.
 
You know that guy who got a huge out of court settlement from Michael Jackson? Well, he blew all the money, fell out with his son and extended family, and ended up killing himself.

Just sayin'.
 
Typical woman in England nowadays, sense of entitlement and self gratifyng attitude to everything despite the fact she's got no claim to it whatsoever.
 
^ the truth has been spoken.

Its such a shame, seriously Women in this country in general have some real bad attitudes in general. I blame these stupid Celeb magazines and Celeb culture.
