Underwater is a term that means the mortgage on your house is now more than your house is worth. Not uncommon with the bursting of the real estate bubble in 2008.
A bit off topic but a friend of a friend is getting divorced from her husband. Husband didn't want STBX wife getting her hands on any of his money so he decided to put all his money in his girlfriend's name. GF dumped him and disappeared with the money. Now they're both broke. And their house is underwater.
I didn't even notice the accent. This is a country of immigrants, my father was an immigrant, I lived in NYC for many years and it's very diverse. I guess to me it's just normal to sound different.
Where in the article is she trying to steal "his" money. It's their money. You're assuming she made no contributions to the business nor the running of the household nor the raising of his children. She doesn't have to divorce him to get his money, she already has access to it. No she's just completely unhappy with him as a person and wants out.
