You really think he quit his big time lawyer gig and started a weed dispensary for his kids?
Right! He was making 700k a year and even said they had nannies and maids so why couldn't he still have those things and keep his high profile career? Or get another well paying job that was slightly less demanding? I'm sure he could have found one. Which is why I believe his drastic career change had more to do with punishing her/getting rid of her than anything else. If he didn't have the money, then she couldn't shop til she dropped, couldn't binge drink, he couldn't put her in countless rehab facilities. That's what that was about. I'm not knocking it - like I said desperate measures but this was not completely altruistic on his part. Men are pretty simple. He did exactly what he set out to do.
I bet she didn’t find him attractive either, hardly slept with him. He ain’t slick. He gets to look like the hero, yet he won’t divorce her, and she is begging for money.... ain’t none of this has anything to do with the kids. They are pawns. Got his pathetic sister on there feeling sorry for him. Well played sir.,
Most women do.Yeah, but she put herself in the position to be set up so...?
But you see he hasn’t divorced her. That lawyer was telling her to sell her shoes! Lol she is entitled to all of that over there. That man ain’t stupid, but the wife is too drunk to see it, or maybe she isn’t? What she needs to do is get clean, stay clean, then divorce him. And laws have changed. He will have to set it up for her to be able to take care of those kids too.
I don't know that I totally buy that. He could have gotten another job making good money and not have to bill in another area of law with a decent home/life balance. It does exist. Half the attorneys who left my last job switched their practice area for no billing and the same (sometimes more) money. Some even get to telecommute half the time and don't have to go to court. But he couldn't go that route because he'd still have to support her. I just can't see a white man living right outside NYC with 2 children willingly taking that drastic a pay cut with the sole reason being his kids. A man who admittedly had outside help. Maybe I'm jaded but I'm convinced it was a calculated move on his part. I'm not mad at him. You do what you gotta do. Especially because it sounds like he tried to help her. This lady brought this on herself, though. And in her endless drunken stupors (falling asleep drunk on the lawn the weekend after a rehab stint. Really?!) she couldn't even see her money train pulling out of the station.
Billing for time in the legal profession. Everything you do you have to bill the client for and you have to keep track of that time. And usually there is a "billing requirement" meaning you have to bill a certain number of hours a month. This is not to be confused with your workday schedule (e.g. 9-5). Most attorneys don't have set schedules and work late hours and even sometimes on vacation. In my case as a paralegal I had a regular 9-5 and had off hours so even if I took a 2 week vacation one month I was still required to bill my 120 hours for that month. I now work in a different area of law with no billing requirement and making a little more money. (I still hate my job though
). Not having to bill for your time is attractive because you can focus on working, you aren't worried about not making the requirement and missing out bonuses and other nonsense like that. I hope this makes sense I'm never good at explaining things like this. lol

I'm in personal injury now on the plaintiff's side. Most of the clients don't have money so we don't bill them for anything until their settlement. Before I was in medical malpractice on the defense side.
Its a classic pairing. Nothing new here!
She was rich. They were rich (or are). They are married. I am sure after all the years the courts will agree too.
I think she is one of those women who is all about appearance and ppl in her ladies who lunch would look down on her for her hubby's new business. See how she drops famous ppl's names who stay in her community? She seems like she is all about appearance.
Right! Lol she called him a drug dealer! Lol
Yes I was definitely thinking it is calculated. If they divorce, he can say his income isn't the same as before. He knows what he's doing. I don't see some man (high powered) staying at home for the good of the kids when he had his wife there before (and lets face it with the type of wife she appears to be, I'm quite certain the nanny was in full force there).
There is money in any drug business. That’s not UE for her and her crowd.
