win the lottery and have to pay your ex,10yrs shes been

here is the link to the story
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...years-ago.html

this man won the lottery and his ex-wife, shes been an ex FOR 10 years and left him for someone eles, sued to get a big share. she wanted 8 mil but got 2 mil out of court, he even offered to put money in a fund for thier child, vetoed. guess she wanted that share as well like when she heard he was going to give money to family, thats when she originally got lawyers.

now the worst part to me is that the daughter lives with the mother. this is what she is being brought up as, cheat on your husband and then take whatever you can from them.

These days, many divorce decrees have specific provisions to exclude ex-spouses from post-divorce lottery winnings.

Too bad for this guy.

She should have gotten nothing. NOTHING!

I know a couple guys that would have taken care of that problem for a lot less than 2 mil...

Just saying.

Yeah a divorce should mean forfeiting rights to things like this.

To be fair, we're only hearing his side of this and y'all are jumping to a lot of conclusions without knowning all ofthe facts. One possibility. They have a kid. How do we know the guy wasn't a deadbeat dad and has never paid child support? It says she left him for another. How do we know he ahdn't cheated on her the whole time, and when she finally met a better man, she decide to leave. I'm just saying we need to hear her side before we start getting all mad about "the cheatin' bitch".

It addressed all of those things in the article, but I agree that making judgements based solely on his side is a bit hasty. Too bad there's a silence agreement prohibiting either of them from saying anything about the situation.

Well, considering that the article is etirely one-sided and only tells it with his side's spin on the matter, my take after reading it is the guy is the one acting like a jerk here. He wins 56 million and balks at his ex (the mother and care-taker of his child) asking for 8? Leaving him with the (in his mind I guess) the paltry sum of 48 mil? I would have said, "You want 8 million? Fine, sign this legal document stating that this ends any possibility of future finiancial obligations between us, and it's yours." end of story. And now he's whining about that he was forced to pay 2 million instead of 8? I mean, I don't know, maybe the ex is a bitch, but we don't know that for a fact, all we have is his say so, and we all know how reliable someone's stories about an ex can be.

Then again in the most of the world it would.

He should give it to her all in pennies. LOL

Meh. Doesn't matter if the ex is a jerk or not. The kid is the heart of the matter. I think the $$ should have been put into an escrow account, controlled by a bank officer or lawyer, who would pay out $$ to the kid as needed while the kid is a minor, with the remainder to go to the child when they reach their majority. That way the mother has minimal control over the money, and she can't spend it all away before the kid is of age...

At least he learned not to get married again.

I would have hired a really good lawyer.

Exactly! Either he didn't have a lawyer or the one he retained wasn't worth a damn! How is SHE entitled to 2mil? Especially 10 years after a divorce HE won? Child would have definitely gotten a trust fund plus all his needs paid for until adulthood!

That's why I would never go public if I ever won a lottery! My wife and I discuss this all the time.

WOW you people dont read. He tried to put that money into an account for his daughter to get when she was no longer a minor. The wife said no to his.

And she also got an increase in child support payment from 150 bucks to 2000 a month.

Gold digging at its finest. Pathetic woman.

According to the article he has been, and was willfully trying to continue that his daughter was taken care of. We know that the this money is def gonna be used by the mom for crap she wants for herself now.

It'd be the principle of the thing for me more than the actual money it'd cost me. The ex who left me for another man a DECADE back? She wants 1/7th of MY money? On top of a 13-14 fold bump up in child support? Yeah...no. I would be all for giving the kid as much as I could in one of those gradual trusts and doing whatever I could to make him/her not blow it all (literally and/or metaphorically

), but what the hell kind of claim does the ex have to it herself, aside from an undeniably dumb loophole in the divorce? I would sooner burn it all up in court than give an ex one cent of it when she was going after it like that. But maybe that's just me.

I would have let the courts decide! Who is she to decide not to have money put aside for his child! He can do that on his own! Maybe the laws in the UK are different! I'd be just as hurt if I had to pay someone who cheated on me!
