Not only that, but Wisconsin is a community property state, which means she left the marriage with half of the assets. Assuming there was other real property in excess of the $1M in investments, she came away with well over $1M.
Even assuming she lost value in her stocks, there is no way, unless she was engaging in highly speculative and irresponsible (considering the circumstances) transactions, that she would have lost more than maybe 50% total of the value of her investments. Some of which has certainly rebounded in the interim. So she most likely has well over $500K in real and liquid assets. And she still needs $4K+/month from her ex-husband?
Well sWisconsin seems to think so. I sure don't.
