FabSwingers.com forum: Future earnings

By (user no longer on site) OP

Stories in the news about Ant McPartlin's divorce, saying his wife could ask for a share of his future earnings, on top of half his current worth.

Do you think this is fair?

No.

The first time I heard of this was with Ray Parlour (ex footballer) a long time ago now.

It's not a new thing and I feel totally unfair

Not particularly. She won't be with him in the future so why should she benefit from his earnings?

Simplistic view i know but still....

I can’t see how that can be fair. It’s not like she’s going to get a pittance out of the settlement as it is. He must be worth quite a bit.

I think this kind of thing is disgusting, the only money anyone should get from an ex, once you are divorced and everything is split between you, is maintenance for children. It's not like she is gonna actually be skint now, is it?! And no doubt she will be on tv or in the papers spilling her guts or promoting a book soon enough!

No we were saying this last night.

She's a grown adult, with a job, shes going to get a payout hefty enough to last her life comfortably why does she need his future earnings too.

"No.

Heard Ray Parlour speaking this week how his ex wife wasn't at all impressed when he received a £20,000 fine for aggressive behaviour on the pitch as that month she only received just over half of her cut, £10,000

Fair in this case or in any divorce case?

In general I think it depends on the circumstances. At face value it doesn't seem fair but divorce never is.

Her lawyers claim she was integral to his success which is bullshit, the person who was integral to his success is Dec!

If she turned that down I would think she had greater integrity. Is it just media spin though or is that really what her lawyers are going for?

I think it’s a very individual case by case basis

Some women give up careers or halt studies etc in order to support and allow a spouse to peruse their dreams and succeed.

That sacrifice doesn’t stop because one of them has bailed on the marriage.

There's this and the fact that once lawyers are involved things get very difficult.

Awww... that’s a shame that his marriage has broken. I don’t think it’s cool to take someone’s future earning unless you’re supporting a family together. If there are no kids involved neither should be entitled to anything after they agree on a settlement and go their separate ways.
