Because being married is a legally binding union, and yes it does entitle a spouse to something. I'm not referring to this woman and her billionaire husband, in particular, because this is an absurd case, but when it comes to marriage in general...for your average Joe....yes, your spouse is most certainly entitled to a fair amount, and is usually in more ways than one VERY instrumental in the breadwinner's ability to amass whatever earnings they obtained throughout the course of that union. If you were in a long term marriage, have sacrificed a significant portion of your wage earning years to provide care in the home for shared children and/or to support your spouse's career, you must be recompensed in some way for the time that you have sacrificed for the benefit of the family and your spouse, and that should be the case for men and women. Even more than a business contract, in a marital union there's a certain element of time and emotional/financial investment that cannot be adequately recompensed, the courts therefore attempt symbolic gestures of fairness through the division of assets and debt. The courts cannot give you back your time, they therefore give you a portion of your spouse's income. An income which you no doubt supported them in being able to attain. This also goes the other way around as well, especially now when women are increasingly becoming the breadwinners (i.e Halle Berry). Yes it is fair that she has to pay her ex child support.
These are very common sense law statutes in multiple states because most adults realize that marriage is a legally recognized contractual agreement where upon dissolvement, both parties must be made whole. Several years is a large amount of time to pour into someone. I dont believe anyone should be able to just take someone to the cleaners and rack up because they married someone wealthy, but I also dont know what world yall live in where you can sign a contract, marry someone, have an arrangement in place regarding finances and household management for YEARS, and then think they're supposed to go work at Starbucks because you're not in love anymore. That's not how this goes.

That's actually not what I said. I said that spousal support and how it is applied should work for men and women. I never once stated that only the woman should be compensated. That is the opposite of what I said.
I also said, in reply to BEAM's post, that I was NOT referencing this billion dollar divorce, because I think it is absurd. I was speaking to the notion that seems to be a reoccurring theme that spousal support, IN GENERAL, is unfair. That was my take on the subject in GENERAL and why it works the way it does. I was not speaking about this woman, nor did I suggest she deserves a billion dollars. I don't have any thoughts about that because it is just that stupid.

Rich people problems..
IMO the circumstances of the divorce should dictate how spousal support is handled.. There comes a point where her lifestyle won't change.. You give her 1BN vs 18BN how will her life change?. She will have the exact same lifestyle.. There comes a point where you cannot spend money faster than the interest is accrues..
The way this looks to me is that this woman wants to hit her ex husband where it hurts.. Issue is his money is too damn long to really hurt him. Ah well.. What can you do?..

meh, to each his own. I understand both sides of the coin, those that would take the settlement and those that would hold out. Personally, if I got this in the mail:
no lawyer fees and just uncle sams portion to payout to keep him out of my pockets forever; I'm good. Obviously, the man has the resources to tie this up in the judicial system so that she never sees one red cent as long as he's alive and by that time, all that could be left is $1000. (I know it's possible because I'm part of a class action suit with an oil refinery that has been going on for 10 years so far and this is after I agreed to the $2500 and lifetime ban, so I can image.) I wouldn't risk turning this into a pissing contest. But some people would, maybe she doesn't have anything else to do but pursue this. Oh well rich peoples problems.

If he would of just wrote the check for $2 billion she would have probably taken it and it would be over... He tried to be cheap though and she took it personal, now I bet she gets half.
$975 million sounds like he was hoping she was thirsty enough to walk away, but that bitch wanna be a billionaire for sure
No doubt this is an ego thing, not about security. He's gonna hate knowing he wife became independent billionaire at his expense.

And the BS continues. There are many examples that display the many faults within the legal system, but incidents such as these really portray just how idiotic and irrational the process can really be. Now for the record their seems to be no problem with anyone's understanding of the legal precedent upon which this particular law is founded. The law is the law, and as it stands (without a prenup) it assumes that each party is contributing exactly half to total assets during the marriage and get treated as such when the union is dissolved. Marriage is essentially a business merger, but what the law fails to consider is that the business portion of these mergers are often flawed because emotions often play a huge role in their initiation. If this wasn't the case Millionaires would not marry significantly beneath their tax bracket and most certainly the billionaire in this situation would not have married his ex-wife.
Now there are times when two individuals are contributing pretty evenly to totally assets combined but to assume that this is the case for every marriage, is amazingly retarded. Some marriages have pretty even financial contributions, and some have insanely unbalanced contributions. This particular situation is the latter and, no amount of house cleaning, dinner making, etc.. will ever change that. The truth of the matter is this women as a source of contribution is entirely replaceable. He on the other hand ,as this legal action demonstrates, is the exact opposite. But do the ridiculous assumption of marriage law, the wife will live a lavish lifestyle she has not earned, and the husband will be penalized.

Yes Im taking the billion, thank for your time, have a nice day, Im out!
On some real shit. Like being really real what the fuck cant you do with a billion dollars that you can't do with 20 billion? You will never spend a billion dollars in this lifetime.
That's more money then you will ever need. You can only drive 1 car at a time and you can only live in one house at a time. You can't be in two places at once. what in the hell are you going to do with 20 billion?
Somebody offer me 1 billie I'm straight. I'm somewhere on an island with bad bitches living life thanking the Creator before I have a heart attack by realizing I'm rich as fuck.
If it was 20 million and Im only getting 1 yeah Im fighting that shit but we talking a billion. I don't think people actually realize how much that is.

These divorce laws are absurd, and came about by Catholics who didn't want people getting divorced so they made sure someone gets hurt if it happens to try to deter people.
All they created was a multi-billion dollar transfer of funds every every year.
