That sounds like the start of the case of Betty Broderick who divorced her powerful lawyer husband and ended up killing him and his new wife.
It is tough to sue a lawyer and is an exception to what usually happens where the court favors the women.
The system needs more equity than exists or the institution of marriage will be progressively degraded.
"..The U.S. divorce rate is 17.7 per 1,000 married women, down from 22.6 in 1980. The marriage rate is also on a steady decline: a 50% drop since 1970 from 76.5 per 1,000 unmarried women to 39.9, says the report, whose calculations are based on an internationally used measurement..."
What goes on in family court has to be part of the reason for the decline in the marriage rate.
