ETA and if all of them are actually like you in personality, which as we know I'm not always all that into, the not talking has a side benefit of not getting to the point of being repulsed. Whee!

Black is beautiful

Energy-saving version of google: Blackle

Supposedly saves energy by reducing monitor energy use by not needing to activate the white (well, RBG) lights in your monitor.

[QUOTE]Originally posted by Replaced_Texan
What the hell did Michael Strahan do to his wife to get a ruling like this? I like this part:
Quote:
No, Strahan isn't going hungry. He still, according to court documents, has over $6 million in net worth. For the sake of argument, if that was all liquid he could invest it – even at the corner bank – and get a decent return of four percent annually. That's around $240,000 in year one. This, needless to say, is a figure 90-something percent of Americans would gladly accept as an annual salary.

Except Strahan lives like less than one percent of America, his burn rate in a given month is slightly higher than yours and mine (you don't have a 20-car garage if you just drive an Impala).

Financially, it doesn't seem possible for him to maintain his pre-divorce lifestyle after he retires. After all, he owes $214,745 annually in child support alone which is why the aforementioned conservative, set-for-life investment plan can't work. [/url]
Please explain to me how she gets half of $22 million and then another $214k in child support payments every year. That is absolutely rifuckingdiculous.

I think he wants FMF, so you might want to cool your jets.

There are only 8 people missing. Abba ain't one of them.

I get no credit for saying up front it was irrational? Geez.

Chances are she's not one of them but there are also 79 injured people. Still, it's lucky there weren't more people injured or killed.

It's much worse than that: 2/3s of $22mil ($15.6mm to her) plus child support, plus school tuition. The upfront cash was for her, the child support is "for" the kids--two separate things.

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 dunno. It sounds like he was taken to the cleaners. I wonder what factors were persuasive to the judge.

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.

TM

*And she shouldn't even get that.

I thought it was only fair since I did your mom and sister at the same time.

Does NY not have no-fault divorce? For some reason I think it doesn't (y'all are freaks mired in the past -- come into the modern world!) but, as always, I may be wrong.
