I have a friend whose wife left him for a multi millionaire. He is in his own right pretty well off, but not private jet well off. Anyway, her new squeeze, being a good business man, encouraged her to fleece him, make him liquidate his business, family home, everything, and split it down the middle. In the mean time, he develops a serious disease, probably because of the stress this caused. The only thing that saved home were his 3 grow children, who stood firmly behind him. She backed down.
I've always said "be careful how you treat your children; you'll answer to an adult for those actions one day."
