This one has OJ potential!!

She’ll be bach.

Arnold Schwarzenegger has indicated in court filings that he does not want to pay Maria Shriver spousal support or her attorney's fees in their divorce case.

Oh for Pete's sake, how is Maria supposed to survive without support from Arnold?

[ronniesgal]

she probably did not want him to have a giant baby with the househelp, either.
Honestly, she doesn’t need support, but he should still take care of the kids that live @ home with her.

[yldstrk]

What a scum

[ColdOne]

Ya sure Arnold I hope that works out for you! If she wants it she will get it. I am sure she has WAY better lawyers than he does?

[lurk]

Attorneys from both sides are daydreaming about the houses, women and cars this case will provide them.

[RinaseaofDs]

He should have reformed the family court system and divorce laws while he was in charge.

Now he’s going to get roasted by them.

Schadenfreude is a Germanic concept, if I recall.

She probably has more money then he does.

[Mamzelle]

I hope that Kennedy skank ruins him—

[driftdiver]

If she gets half, why should he pay support?

[Mr. Bird]

Seems to me that spousal support in this case is simply a punitive measure. Child support is understandable in virtually any case: the custodial parent necessarily incurs more expenses (although awards of $20k/month seem preposterous to me).

Spousal support seems to only be justifiable if one spouse makes material gains at the expense of the other. If Arnold forbade (in some fashion) Maria to work, I could see spousal support. But if she chose to do "public service" (euphemistic phrase for 'I'm a Kennedy and have no talent'), she shouldn't get anything.

Both were wealthy when they married; Maria is entitled (as I understand it) to half the wealth accumulated during the marriage. Not sure why she should get any more than that.

Attorney fees - yes, it was his fault they got divorced.

Maintenance - no, she can earn a living for herself.

Just child support - based on income...he should come out okay since his income has declined since he became Governator, unless he has income from his movies.

[La Enchiladita]

Maria will win and Arnie can kiss his movies “comeback” good-bye.

[RedStateRocker]

My Dem friends and coworkers have *loved* to point out that her ran as an (R).
What a disgrace.

[GenXteacher]

Maria is going to take half his money, and make it not there....

[Cheetahcat]

Dick Tracy Shriver should have plenty of money,and if she was a WIFE why did he need to bonk the maid then?

Community Property = His property is their property and her property is her property. His income is their income and her income is her income. He pays his lawyer and he pays her lawyer, and support, and court-appointed experts.

And that’s without any dependent children.
