I guess that's where it all comes undone. Each side has a different view of "fair" and some want to be compensated financially for emotional pain. Of course the pain is rarely one sided but people become amazingly self centred. I am sure the vast majority would not feel they are ripping off...

yo yo man I am curious as to why you would leave your wife 100. Surely the family home and sufficient ongoing support to maintain your children in their current lifestyle would be more than fair? I know of people who have doen this but I must admit I did not quite understand their...
