How you may ask.

I have a buddy who recently got divorced. They had approximately 3 million in marital property, including a house and savings.

They sold the house and split the proceeds 50/50, which amounted to her getting about a million dollars. The house sold for just a tad under 2 million.

They also had approximately a million in various investment and saving accounts.

She was awarded spousal support to the tune of 100k per year for life. So, if they both live another 20 years, he will pay her 2 million in alimony over that 20 years, which means she will end up with 2 million in 'cash' and 1 million from the sale of the house. In other words she will end up with ALL the money from their marriage.

How in any world is this fair?
