[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Friend was an early software engineer at Google. Moved to CA after college with his girlfriend, and they eventually got married. When Google went public in 2004, he became instantly wealthy, ~$28M. Due to his insane work schedule, he got divorced 2 years later, and she took $14M.

If you think that is reasonable, you don't need a prenup. If you think that is unjust, then get a prenup.

She moved to California to be with him, presumably wasted her youth and fertility on him, and then waited around 2 more years while he was off working all the time. She deserves to be compensated for all of that.

Don’t waste women’s youth if you don’t want to pay up. He should have just stayed single if he didn’t want a real relationship. Too many men feel entitled to a girlfriend and wife, rather than looking at if they can actually be a good boyfriend or husband. [/quote]

She chose all of that. He doesn't need to pay her for her own decisions. [/quote]

And he made the same choices - to marry her knowing he would lose half in the event of a divorce.

The law is the law. He knew what he was getting into and that everything would be split 50/50. You don’t get to decide the law “isn’t fair” when it’s millions of dollars rather than thousands.

He didn’t have to get married. He could have had a prenup. He didn’t. That’s on him. Courts don’t want to hear men whining when they could have easily handled it with a prenup or by not getting married. [/quote]
