[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Natalie Maines' ex seems like a total pr*ck.[/quote]

Why? Because he asked for support? If he'd been a woman and they'd been married 17 years (like they were), ya'll would be saying he's owed that and more.[/quote]

Not if he'd been a woman that signed a prenup saying otherwise.  It's not like he was at home managing the house and children behind the scenes.  He had his own career, she was just better at hers.[/quote]

Women try to get around prenups ALL the time. He just used the same tactic. You support outrageous child support and maintainence ence levels for one type of spouse - you have to do it for both. [/quote]

Child support is one thing--the kids should have the same lifestyle they had before.  But he wanted $45k extra in spousal support, which he did not get because he signed a valid prenup.  I dont support "outrageous" maintenance levels for anybody in a divorce.[/quote]

Sounds like he did exactly what you said a SAHM does. He raised the children, saw them off to school, made sure their meals were made, and put them to bed while Natalie was making music, touring, and fighting the establishment.

[b]At the time, he claimed he sacrificed his professional career to focus on the former couple's children while Maines toured and made music.[/b][/quote]

At one point, the kids came on tour with them.  And their son played at some of the DCX shows.  He just sounds like a jerk. He wasn't manipulated into a prenup. [b]They're both professional entertainers with potential to make big bucks[/b]. He made an agreement with full capacity to understand it, and then went back on what he agreed to.  Destroys his credibility.[/quote]

This is an interesting perspective. If I understand you correctly, you believe that if a woman who has potential to make good money (maybe she was lawyer) makes a personal choice to stay at home or follow her husband's career - then she shouldn't be entitled to any alimony or child support. I am sure many others agree with you. The courts generally don't.

The court awarded him 350,000 in legal fees that she had to pay so there was something to the case he brought forward. I am not sure it was ever disclosed what the final ruling was in terms of alimony / child support she needed to pay. [/quote]
