Over the past few weeks, we’ve heard so much talk about Tiger Woods, his mistresses, and what appears to be an inevitable divorce. It’s been reported that Elin Woods has hired one of the most fearless high-powered divorce attorneys in the industry and may be re-tweaking a not-so rock solid prenuptial agreement. The Woods own a mansion in California and if Elin is able to claim California residency, she may be entitled to half of Tiger’s fortune.
What do you think about this? I am all for spouses receiving some form of alimony and/or child support. I also think that support should be an amount that is comparable to the lifestyle the couple led together, taking into account the earnings and assets that both parties have. I do not, however, understand the need for absurd amounts of money such as what is being discussed in the Woods’ potential divorce.
Tiger Woods has a billion dollar fortune at stake. They have been married 5 years and have 2 children. Woods’ was a well-established golfer long before Elin came into the picture. Infidelity hurts. It breaks up families. However, I cannot find any reason why this woman who has not contributed one penny to that fortune would be entitled to or deserving of 500 million dollars.
I have never been a big fan of Tiger Woods nor do I condone his Cheetah ways. I do, however, believe the majority of his earnings should be just that. HIS earnings. Is that what it’s all about? Money? If Elin married him for money does that make her any better than him? Please share your thoughts.
I concur! Elin should not be entitled to half. First of all, that's what a prenup for. (or is that merely another way for attorney's to make (take) money.) Second, as you said, he was well established long before they married. She was not instrumental in Tiger's success. That said, whatever she gets will beat her salary as a nanny any day.
ReplyDeleteOf course, only the 2 of them know the TRUTH, as to what really went down in the house. While she may have not helped to get his billion dollar earnings, she was there raising his kids and holding it down for him(as we women do). She deserves half, if not more. If she had no idea of his indescretions, she deserves half. He left her susceptible to STD's or HIV/AIDs, (life or death situation),for that she deserves half.
