Well you know...some say he never went, either. Moving right along, lol..... I think it's a lot of money, but judges tend to take into account the 'accustomed to' lifestyle, when doling out the alimony. Or don't marry in Cali w/o a prenup...they don't play around in down-the-middle splits.
It was his third marriage!:smt103 Gotta think those other wives drained his bank accounts too. No one has a prenup in perpetuity. After 20+ years of marriage it probably would have been voided anyway. He's not broke she just gets half of most his remaining income. Like northside said, the man is in his 80s. You can't take it with you. Yall talking like she stole some of his organs too. Buzz Aldrin is an arrogant SOB if you've ever seen him interviewed. I bet he's the one responsible for the divorce, whether he initiated it or drove her away with his crusty ass personality. There are seniors out here in worse shape that ol' Buzzy.
Tom Cruise divorced Nicole Kidman after nine years of marriage. If they stayed together a full ten years, Nicole would be getting a lot of Tom's money in the state of California. The vulgar term for this is called "vaginamony." The late great Johnny Carson had to deal with it. Steven Spielberg had to pay his wife, actress Amy Irving, a whopping $300. 000. 000. 00 by order of the judge that heard their case. Eddie Murphy had joked about the word "half", and how that one word can be frightening to a wealthy person. Look at Donald Trump and his first two marriages(his wife Ivana and model Marla Maples). Madonna and Guy Ritchie. It happens when money is involved.
So what if he caused it and so what if he can't take it with him dude earned it. It is theft when you're forced to do it. Its messed up.
Im with you TDK. I cant see why she should get that kind of shit. just because you are accustomed a certain lifestyle doesnt mean you should have it for the rest of your life. there out there situations like the hubby moves alot and you arent allowed to do certain things but for the most part a woman should not get an alimony..especially now-a-days with feminism.
I know Nowadays with femimism??? The woman looks like she guarding the crypt. That's old-school people right there. She doesn't have much life left @ 'rest of your life". I doubt Buzz really minds. It's now just a matter of who outlives who
