Billionaire's ex wants $1M a month to raise kids: "$300,000 a month for private-jet travel, $160,000 a month for vacation rentals and $60,000 a month for office space and professional staff"

The best thing in the world that could happen to those kids is for both of their parents to stop treating them like Saudi royalty and start giving them what kids actually need - time, attention, education, routine, responsibilities, and an actual home - not five mansions scattered around the country. Jesus Christ, what assholes.

Does anyone else think its funny she wants money for office space. What does she need an office for if she doesn't work

Best interests of the (adult female) child!

Your honor, my children and I are accustomed to undeserved wealth. By law, the court must insure that we continue to enjoy it.

Dias's statement doesn't dispute the dollar numbers. But she said Griffin is refusing to give the kids "the support to which they are accustomed and entitled under Illinois law."

In a previous filing, Dias said she and their children have come to "enjoy a lifestyle reserved only for the very wealthy," including houses in Chicago, Aspen, Hawaii, Miami Beach and New York. They also have "unrestricted access" to two private jets "to travel to the aforementioned homes" as well as other destinations.

So, if a rich parent becomes middle class, can they have they have their children taken away for not being able to provide "the support to which they are accustomed and entitled under Illinois law?"

Give me 200 grand a year and I'll raise the kids for you woman. Never have to see em, can just wander the globe by private jet.

What's really odd about this is: in the realm of alimony and child support, there is an assume proportionality. The larger the payer's income, the more they need to pay. Then at the low end, that gets a bit violated, where it goes out of proportion and transitions to an absolute amount (food, housing at market rates).

Consider, then, fines and citations, like parking tickets. For those, they are not scaled by how much the person makes. It is only an absolute scale. Again, for the people on the lower income level, a $120 parking ticket might be their income for two whole days of work, whereas that might be the time equivalent of 5 minutes of "work" for the rich man.

So, which is? Proportional or not? Taxes are proportional and progressive. Demands of minimum quality of life standards are proposed as absolutes, though.

Never get married.

Ya know the numbers are attention grabbers but I'm much more concerned about the millions of middle class men that are pushed into poverty and working class men that are pushed into homelessness..I guess we have to draw attention to the dramatic numbers because no one seem to care about men without status..

Billionaires shouldn't be billionaires, so it's hard to have sympathy about this situation. Everything about it is ridiculous.

Is this necessarily gender related? I recall Joan Lunden complaining about how her lazy ex husband got a large divorce settlement from her.

How shocking, another entitled cunt that wants to steal a man's hard earned wealth, just because he made the mistake of marrying her. Between women like this, and feminists... MGTOW seems so tempting. Being in a serious relationship is rarely beneficial anymore, it's almost always a liability because women have complained their way to a rigged justice system...and they still have the nerve to cry and bitch about inequality. Western women, American women in particular, are the absolute worst.
