"Basically throwing me out on the street." Yup. Getting $750,000, as agreed in their prenup, is being "thrown out into the street."
You remember Tricia Walsh-Smith--according to the AP, she vilified husband Philip Smith in a "furious YouTube video, which has attracted more than 3 million hits. She makes embarrassing claims about their intimate life and then calls his office to repeat those claims to a stunned assistant.
"On the video, Walsh-Smith also goes through their wedding album, describing family members as 'bad,' 'evil' or 'nasty,' and expresses concern about eviction from the couple's luxury apartment."
Her routine was so over-the-top that the judge actually sided with the husband, criticizing Walsh-Smith for "a calculated and callous campaign to embarrass and humiliate her husband" in order to extort more money out of him than was in the prenup.
They were married in 1999 and, luckily for Smith, they had no children. If they had, I'm sure by now Smith would be a "child molester," a "wife-beater," and a bunch of other things.

I think the judge saved him from that fate.
I have heard preachers and pastors frown on couples getting prenups, however, in todays world, you can’t be to careful.
Yes, there are some outstanding wonderful very attractive beautiful women out there who are honest, decent, loyal, however, for men, the bad ones have left a bad impression on men that carry over onto the good ones.... it’s sad both ways.
it serves him right for marrying someone based on something other than character... i bet he wouldn't even consider marrying a nice honest woman his own age... while shoe does not deserved the money, he deserves to pay $750,000...
Oh, I agree. My husband was out of work for a year, back in Tulsa in the early ‘00. We had six children then, and the 7th on the way before he found a new job. The middle children sometimes ask if Daddy can be laid off again, because it was fun when he was home all the time.
I was simply pointing out, in my earlier post, that “stable job” and “lost his job” are sort of opposites.
I admit that having eight children and keeping reptiles is a little exceptional, but, if everyone you know is miserably divorced, you’re probably hanging out with the wrong people. Visit a homeschool association!
