I cannot understand why she gets such an enormous amount of money. She didn’t have any hand in creating that wealth.
No sane man should marry in this legal environment. That is true in spades for California.
I have a college acquaintance who got divorced in CA.
He actually made out a lot better than he deserved to. One issue was some money he had inherited, which he always kept in his own name. The judge decided that wasn’t community property, and he kept it.
I think she just wanted out, and he was persistent. Well, maybe he was cautious as well as difficult—it was his third divorce.
Anyway, he didn’t do too badly in CA.
