[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm going to tell you something that may shatter your entire world. I hope you're sitting.

Life isn't fair. It's not equitable. It's not even. It doesn't even pretend to be.

So now you know.

Your brother is going through a tough time. Trust me, even when it seems like a winning proposition, there are very few rewards about going through a divorce.

Your parents buying out the ex makes a lot of sense as it keeps your brother in the house. If there are children, it keeps them in the house. He doesn't need to liquidate equity to pay her off, plus real estate fees, legal fees, etc. coming to that kind of financial arrangement early on saves a lot of heartache down the road and keeps your brother on better financial footing.

You don't know his arrangement with them. Maybe it's a loan that will be paid back. Maybe they will have partial legal title to the house as an asset. Maybe they will take it out of inheritance. Maybe they think by helping him now, it will save him needing their help later.  Maybe, they just feel really like giving him the money.

But regardless... It's none of your business. And if you want to complain about fair, you should refer to my first point. Life isn't fair. 
You should be happy you come from a family that helps out when there is a NEED.
