It is ridiculous, but Strahan was obviously being stupid--he had enough money that he should have been more careful, but not enough that it wouldn't matter.
I realize they are considered two separate things. But why is our system so fucked up that she could walk away from a marriage in which she earned roughly 0% of the money with 2/3rds of what he compiled and a salary for raising the kids?

My point is that he shouldn't have to be careful. The law shouldn't take into account why they are divorcing when dividing the marital estate. And she should only get half of what was compiled while they were married,* which, quite obviously, is more than enough to provide for her and their kids.

*And she shouldn't even get that.
