Of course she had something to do with the success, but how much? The man worked to increase the company wealth, etc, while she worked in the home. I think she deserves something for that effort, but ...half of it???

well child is the purpose of marriage. child is worth all the money in the world...or at least the most of it
Okay, let's say you're correct. Then give the money to the kid, not the mother!!!

underage is not qualified. thats why parents need to be together...if they are divorced they most both support the child.
Nope. companionship/partnership is the reason/purpose for marriage. The last time I checked, you don't need to be married to have a child.
well one is supposed to be, it is an obligation to a country.
I don't get it, Sandy, do you believe in marriage or not? Marriage means you share your assents collectively, unless you have a pre-nup. It's not like the dude is going to go bankrupt.
I would agree with sandy if it was a marriage of short duration or one contracted in these "liberated" times. However the very duration of the marriage is what puts me on the other side.
Maya Polsky... I googled it
It apears she has a art galery sins 1989
... something tells me... it was the better outcome if she got a large piece of the money

1.) If one is at work and one is at home, they have at least equally important jobs in the family.
2.) if she did stay at home for 30 years, she couldn't pursue business like he did.
This is what makes marriage a partnership.
Is nothing more important or significant than money?
A partner supoports you, encourages you, helps me in many ways that can not be quanitified - a good partnership with help someone succeed in the rest of life.
To talk of a 30 years marriage in terms of how much money HE made vs how much SHE made is disgustingly materialistic, and show a complete lack of compassion and understanding of the human condition.
Again, sandy, this explains a lot.

She deserves something if she's had to give up a career for whatever reasons(children etc), and anyone in her situation would say the same, but is she entitled to that sum of money? I think 5 million more than covers what she might have lost over 30 years(thats what? over 150,000 a year?) Personally I'd feel guilty taking half if I'd done little to contribute to the wealth, I recognize the contribution in other ways than financially but there are limits. Fact really is that most people stay home by CHOICE, how many people these days have a family AND a career? Sure you lose something, but not 184 million! Either way this is an exceptional case and most people don't earn enough to do things any other way than 50/50 but there should always be considerations.
I quite agree with both of you, though the justice system considers it their duty to do both. As was said, marriage is a partnership, a symbol of mutual trust and support. Perhaps she didn't work as hard as he did to acquire their wealth, but she helped him acquire it. Also, some of you are overlooking the fact that she does more than just sit at home. She helped her husband with his needs, not forgetting that she hosted an art gallery on her own time.
If those two argue about the divorce settlement, then so be it. But how can YOU determine what each person deserves?
I would give you 1 cent. Wanna marry?
She IS nuts! Where have you been!?
He's worth $450 million, she got $184 million.... did you say "half"!?!?!!?
I think you should go back to school. You must have missed some math classes.....
You obviously never raised a child....
Exactly.
