She made a choice to give up her job and to be fair if you want to cover her wages lost for giving up her nannying job for however long they were married then so be it and maybe a decent house for the kids and some money to go to school and for babysitters if needs be but 100 million dollars?
And nothing gets under my skin more than when people say she took care of her kids and the home. I grew up and been around affluent people my entire life and people with that kind of money have a staff. Get the picture of Elin pushing a vaccuum around their 20,000 square foot home out of your mind I'll bet my balls they had maids or cleaning people for that shit.
And whatever time you CHOOSE to give up to take care of YOUR kids not just his is on you. Compensating people for raising their own children is disgusting and people should be down right ashamed of themselves for wanting that. Child support and spousal support are two totally different things. If you want to look at a family as two people who equally contribute how the fuck can Elin equally contribute? She can't. I'm not saying she doesn't deserve anything that would be ridiculous but for what she brought to the marriage a 1 million dollars for every year they were married would be fair.
I agree that the kids should still live a good lifestyle but that has nothing to do wuth what the mother is awarded thats a child support issue.
And GQ like I said I don't like cheaters but this penalty bs is ridiculous because if she cheated on him she'd still get compensated just because she's the mother of his kids. When that much wealth is involved people are rarely if ever in it for love. She wanted a comfortable lifestyle and he probably wanted a family.
Yes. When a woman gives up whatever her job is to take care of home, children and husband, then they should share equally in whatever he earned during the marriage. And this, by the way, goes to the reverse. If a man is a stay at home dad, and takes care of kids, house, wife, then when they divorce he ought to get half of what she earned during the marriage. Equal partners.
And the kids should certainly be able to live at the same level of comfort they did before the divorce.
What cracks me up is that damned few custodial parents actually get *any* alimony, and most of them don't end up getting the full amount of child support the kids are entitled to and granted by the court. In my particular case, I took "everything"....which was $30,000 worth of debt my ex ran up on my credit cards. And he didn't pay child support, even though it was mandated by the court - every time they'd start taking it out of his paycheck, he'd quit the job. After 2 years of chasing him in and out of court for child support only, I decided it wasn't worth the time/money it was costing me, and that time was better spent on my own career, moving up the ladder to a point where I didnt *need* his damned money to provide for my son.
BTW, I just finished putting my son through 5 years of college. He has ZERO debt - I paid out of pocket for the entire 5 years.
MrF I think she does, based on the fact that Tiger was the one that cheated on her and broke their marriage vows.
He had her living a certain lifestyle as wife and the mother of his children.
If she had dogged him out, cheated on him, been a shitty parent then one would have to question.
But she wasn't in the wrong, Tiger was, based on what we know she was faithful to him, he wasn't to her.
This was a woman that was always by his side in public, never heard any scandulous things about her, like we often get with the celebrity types. Tiger changed all that on his own accord.
Remember 100 million to Tiger is different than to most other people, you have to remember his worth and his actions that precipitated the divorce.
