I just want to know why she filed in the first place? What was the tipping point? Why after all of these years?

She spoke to the wrong people when seeking advice. Someone got in her ear.

Seems like she could just not take him anymore and given how she is being treated you can understand why.

She was very young and pretty and in love with him. At that stage of the relationship, she probably didn't realize how controlling and determined he is. There doesn't appear to have been an affair with someone else on her part; and they were married for 20 years with 3 kids, so I can't imagine why he's treating her this way.
Her rental home isn't inexpensive, but there's nothing exceptional about it by DCUM standards or for the ex-wife of a guy worth $400 million.

I’m guessing she wasn’t happy and someone either pointed out/the lightbulb went in for her that if she didn’t divorce him before the kids were adults she’s would be stuck with just the money agreed to in the pre-nup. Having kids under 18 is her hook to grab some more money from him.

I think it was about infidelity. She asked specifically for an accounting of marital assets that went to other women. I don't believe she pulled that out of thin air. But he's smart enough to have covered his tracks.

There are no marital assets.

There are no marital assets.

It was part of the forensic accounting request, which is standard.

. Lol they dated for almost 4 years and met in 2010 before they married. She was 30. Lol she knew what she was getting into.

Just mama? Single mom? Where was your dad in this conversation?

Does it matter? Lol you should never rely on someone else’s plan. Whether you are married and a stay at home mom, single mom, widow, etc., you should still have either a rainy day fund or um idk since she states she was a “handbag designer”, used her status to build her own business??? Idk maybe she just needs to get hit on her head?

What to you then makes one a good woman and who who treats a man well? What does Chrsitine have to do to earn that distinction?

Is she bad and not treating him well if she doesn't keep cooking him dinner? Having sex? What does a wife need to do to be a good woman and to treat her husband well?
People are very clear on this thread that for men, their worth is based on $$ and what defines a good man is how much he has and gives to the woman, but what defines a good woman?

In the Kelly Clarkson divorce thread with a similar prenup - I don't really recall comment about how she is only a good woman and only treats her husband well if she gives him a lot more of her money. No one was calling her names and putting her down for not opening up the bank and ensuring her ex (and children when with him) had the same lifestyle as he had while married to her. It seems few feel that women are defined by $$ and how generous they are to an ex - so what would have made Kelly a good woman who treated her man well?

He actually called her a good mother and also kept the house beautiful on the stand so that point is blown. A good man is protective of his wife and the idea that they were married almost 20 years and her name is on zero including apparently a car before she put her foot down and bought a car is just nuts.

He already owned multiple houses.

In 29 years to have nothing together is strange. Joan Rivers smelled a rat!! Love her!!

Lol!! Joan told her she was stupid on a red carpet! She took one look at her wedding ring and said “OMGoodness that is the smallest thing lol you are an idiot”

I’ve seen similar happen when a best friend’s grandpa cut out his mom. The best friend and her two siblings ended up giving their mom a free house and like a million dollars.

Lol he offered that. A house worth less than 1mil, any car, and still keep the 1.5mil per the prenup. She refused. Costner already paid for everything for all of his kids and since her bills were never spent on her children she doesn’t have a leg to stand on. It’s already been reviewed lol he pays for everything including those lavish expenses, vacations, and oh her plastic surgery

Doesn’t matter if it’s standard. There are no marital assets.

It is like she was a girlfriend who birthed kids. He is so gross. I feel like he has someone posting for him because he is a pathetic excuse for a man.

Lol she was 30 when they married and supposedly had her own business. They were married for 18 years. Im guessing at some point she became dumb and forgot she had a degree?

Even if Christine isn't smart or educated or good with finances.... he married her and thought she would be a good mother for his children. They were married for 20 years. He is acting like a pluperfect JERK. No amount of spin will change that fact.

ITA. He wouldn’t even notice $15-20M and she’d still have to adjust her lifestyle downward. The kids will notice her drastic lifestyle change and blame their dad for not taking care of her.

They’re going to blame their mom for blowing up their family due to boredom.

They're going to realize what a small, miserly percentage of his wealth he gave their mom.

When they get a huge inheritance they’ll understand plus they will realize their mom squanders money.

+1 I have to wonder if all the Christine supporters are divorced?

I've been married for over 30 years and am not particularly a Christine supporter. With a net worth of about 400 million, I just think he's being obnoxiously cheap towards the mother of his children and wife of 20 years.

She signed the prenup. It existed for a reason.

Yes, he knew himself quite well. Guess he's always been obnoxiously cheap.

Cheap? He pays for a chauffeur, medical care, their upcoming tuition, their security team, her nannies, her chef, her tutors, her maids, I’m lost on how he’s cheap.
