(36,842 posts)but didn't know he made the money himself - just read his entry on wikipedia. I'm not about to choose "sides" though over a guy who is trying to screw over the woman who spent 30 years with him and raised his 5 kids. In a relationship of that length and given his successful career I'm sure she put a heck of a lot of effort into the homemaking role - being the sole parent while he was usually at the office, attending the requisite client and fundraising events, and all the rest that goes with the role of being the spouse of a high-powered lawyer/businessman/politician. My guess is that like any other couple in the world they both have their good & bad traits. Hopefully the judge will see through his nonsense and split up the equity in a reasonable fashion given what she has also put into the relationship.
