What a stupid article. Marriage is a contract where each partner holds a 50% stake. You want out, you gotta buy the other’s 50% stake.
Simple easy peasy.
Either you are not married or are just plain snarky today. On your basis, a battered spouse must continue to endure until death because they can’t afford to buy their way out. Marriage is indeed a contract. And I do believe that Mel broke that contract on multiple occassions. Perhaps the money is to cover his breach
you think they each did an equal amount of work to earn the money she now wants?
