It wasn't that she couldn't afford the payments: Brenda had been given valuable property by her father - leaving her with 2.4 million in investment holdings - while James had little to his name. But Brenda did not want to pay a man who, she alleged, had both committed adultery and treated her with cruelty during their marriage.

"Can An Adulterer Receive Alimony?"

(This is called irony, people. The second quote is a Bruce Dern line from a movie about his movie wife being an adulterer.)

Steve Buscemi isn't the only guy who can spot irony.

Answer to the question: Can An Adulterer Receive Alimony...

Of course. Especially if the alimony recipient is a woman. Shoot, that's been a divorce racket for years. (the adulterer, living with someone & still getting alimony thing)

Adultery doesn't matter any more. It's only taboo in the Bible. /sarcasm
