Quote: “He does have a pre-nup. Apparently the courts don’t have any use for them.”
That is simply not true. She will have to show that she did not willingly enter into the pre-nup to void it. Otherwise, she gets what she gets Tiger’s bad conduct notwithstanding.
It is pretty disturbing that many here think no more of a marriage, and no more of a wife. Very disturbing.
I already said he didn’t have 300 million. However as others have said, Elin helped to make him alot of money with the sponsors. He didn’t make all that money playing golf. They have been married for more than two years and no I didn’t sign a prenup but alot of people with money do. We don’t know what the prenup said. Infidelity could cause it to be null and void.
As much as Tiger apparently likes to party, he should be ecstatic to just pay up & move on. Without being fettered by a wife & kids, he can party double time.
He is a doper. I have seen visitation denied over failed drug tests.
>>>The Drug thing will sink him.<<<
Do you mean the pain killers or the rumours of PEDs? I am fairly certain the fans will forgive him for the pain killers, as most can understand someone getting hooked on them, while using them for legitimate medical purposes (see Limbaugh, Rush).
IMHO, if proof of Tiger using performance enhancing drugs emerges, that will be more devastating than the adultery and pain killers combined.
While his clean image certainly helped, he was not getting $100 million a year in endorsements because he was seen as a wonderful, family man. There are millions of great family men out there and nobody is offering them money to endorse products.
He was making all that money because he was an incredibly great golfer. If it turns out that he greatness came out of a bottle or a syringe, his titles and quest to break the record for most majors will became tainted to the point of being meaningless. He will be the Barry Bonds of golf, and he’ll never get another big endorsement deal.
Not in the state of California
Yes it is very sad. It does however make me thankful that my husband values my contribution!
I've reserved criticism of the wife up until now and have felt sorry for her. But siding with Tiger and all the other men across this country past and present who have been taken to the cleaners by their ex-wives, the very same wives who have done nothing to enhance the earnings of their spouses other than bear their children, I say negotiate a smaller payoff.
If the smaller payoff is not accepted, then go for the initial offer but make sure it includes no further payments for alimony or child support...........
Then add the ex-nanny to the list of the other less successful party girls.......
Where you been for the past couple weeks, in the closet? There was and IS a pre-nup that Tiger was willing to modify that would have benefitted her...........
Well said, very good analysis. You are almost certainly correct.
OK - 5 years. Point still stands.
After using a few cleverly place qualifiers, this story could lead us just about anywhere and I'm sure it does...
Does anyone here know how we're going to pick out an effective opponent against Obama in 3 years when we prove everyday with the Tiger stories that we don't know the difference between $hit and Shineolla?
Thanks!!! You’re too kind.. (g)
We’re about ready to find what the prenup said. I’ll bet it’s for a lot less than half his earnings during the time they were married.
But under any circumstances, there is no way she should be able to attach assets that he had before the marriage. Last five years? Yes - unless prohibited by prenup. His entire prior life? No - not only no, but hell no.
I’m waiting to find out that there was no infidelity clause in the prenup and for her to argue it should be voided because she’s a woman and doesn’t understand such things as responsibility for your signature on a legal agreement.
I’m not sure I buy that. He received all the endorsement money because he was an outstanding golfer, with a scandal free imgage.
If he had remained single and scandal free all those years, I think he would have made just about the same in endorsements.
Now, you can argue she is entitled to half, simply for being his wife, but I don’t believe she had much of a role in earning the money.
She *ought* to get full custody, for the sake of the kids. Otherwise they’ll get to witness the string of bimbos he’ll no doubt be parading through his living room now that he won’t be encumbered by the wife.
Half of everything he's earned since he said "I do" ought to keep her and the kids in happy meals and decent clothes for the foreseeable future.
I don't know why you are disturbed by the people here. They didn't ask these people to enter into a PROVISIONAL marriage.
I think that when two people think so little of each other (and the institution of marriage) that they have to SIGN A LEGAL DOCUMENT to get out of "the marriage" before they GET INTO IT then I regard "the marriage" with as little reverence as they evidently do.
And yes, I am married and for many years. One time. Three boys who grew up to be good men. Five grand kids. None of them have been divorced, either.
And if one of my kids either made or got a Conditional marriage proposal, I would tell them to walk away.
And there has never been an insulting bastardization of marriage called a PRENUP anywhere near any of us.
