SOME women are snakes!!

[semi-pro waster]

Surprised a lot of people think settlements like this is fair game.
Regardless of who did what, though if it was the other way around? He'd probably drop her in a moments notice without so much as a thanks.

Just because it's law doesn't make it right, but most people seem to think it is, another sad state of society, rules made by us don't always make sense. Also you can never, ever, ever be certain the other party hadn't ever done the same. But hey, nobody cares right.

I find myself curious, why do settlements like this not make sense? The marriage contract is broken unilaterally through no fault of the other partner even if they've been (in)directly contributing to the success of their wealthier spouse - why shouldn't they get their fair share?

You're right, we don't know if she did or did not have extra-marital affairs but it seems a trifle remiss of Mr Bryant's legal team not to investigate the matter and use it were such affairs in evidence since that would probably have helped reduce his liability.

But yeah dawg, prenups.

Might have helped him there, not so much in the UK as until very recently they were simply ignored, even now they're just persuasive in certain cases.

ill ask again. what does she need three houses for?? im sure 10 million makes up for being cheated on? would you say so? 1 mill for each year.

No idea about the US legal system do you?
10 years means half generally. Thats why Cruise divorced Kidman at 9 years 10 months.
3 houses, as if they were used to be living around 3 separate areas, then that and the kids lives will not be interfered with, and maintained.
He cheated, therefore under the US system he is at fault.

Its not a difficult concept to work out.

She bounced him all around the court.

Because when you get married you agree to share your life and wealth. Effectively things stop belonging to one person and belong to both.

I'd just like to point out that She found out about affairs four years ago but decided to stay with him for 10 years on her mothers advice to guarantee extra money, nothing like putting your bank balance before your pride/broken heart.

 

[ANDARIAL]

If it was her who was cheating I wonder if the judge would have awarded him the 50% ?

My comment was more in line with the `equality`of the sexes.Would the bloke have got 50%?I don`t think so

 

[Deleted member 77746]

Too much money.

 

[Cosimo]

It's no big deal, he got what he deserved.

Alternatively putting the welfare of her kids before her pride/broken heart?

To be honest whilst some moral cumuppance is good it really shouldn't matter who. A partnership is being dissolved and split between the two members of that partnership. It isn't his wealth, they were married so it was their wealth. Who earned it is pretty much immaterial.

 

[ZXSpectrum]

Same thing happened with Hulk Hogan.. Linda took him to the cleaners. Even though he was a pretty astute business man and apparently very good with money she got almost everything!

 

[mOdO]

Black mamba will make that back in a couple of years anyway.

 

[King Damager]

He cheated on his wife... 50:50 split seems fair, although was awfully nice of him to buy a mansion for his mother in law...

[LordSplodge]

she done jack **** to earn that cash. few million is more than enough to give.

so raising two children and being a wife for ten years is contributing nothing? You are either 12 or have no clue about the real world.

Don't see here as a snake and I don't see any problem with the 50:50 split.

 

[4T5]

It's only 75 Mill What's the big deal ?

 

[panyan]

They have been married for 10 years, raised 2 kids. You think that everything she ever done in a relationship is worthless? I do not see a problem here, in fact I am glad she's getting payout, it is only fair.

God have mercy on your soul OP.

+1 to all that
