      or that they should maintain their lifestyle they had at a level provided by their ex.

      Interestingly enough two divorces involving friends come to mind where the 'weaker party' was male both were during the divorce abusing alcohol & drugs yet the wife lost the house or paid maintenance. Though arguably both husbands had during the marriage contributed significantly to the household. Does that change it now its a different sex?

        Mate of mine kept the house and kids, even though his wife was stay at home, and AFAIK, not abusive or anything obviously unusual. So it does happen.

          Again, there's no suggestion anywhere that the settlement would result in her lifestyle remaining unchanged. In fact, the article explicitly states that she's gone back to work. That sounds like a lifestyle change.

          Less than £500,000 in assets isn't really that much in the grand scheme of things. It presumably includes the value of the family home, and the maintenance would just about cover the children's school fees. Or are you suggesting the children must suffer along with the mother?

          It does actually (he is being offered Legal Aid because he has no money) but I also listened on the radio and read it in the Littlejohn's column apparently the Telegraph didn't think it was worth mentioning.

          If he isn't earning anything as the firm is insolvent and the cash is gone then the Kids will have to suffer the indignity of the local Comprehensive.

                MGTOW

                MGTOW is the best way now.

                Take the red pill, wake up.

                      Noticed I said not properly valid which is not the same as invalid.

                      Anyway you should marry someone who has nearly as much, equal or more wealth as you.
