If not, this makes him look petty and stingy to the mother of his children.
It’s the amount she asked for in the prenup.
He cheated.
Unless the prenup had a cheating clause, it’s irrelevant. And given the info leaked by both sides, there’s no cheating clause.

This move most likely protects all of his children (from both marriages

A man is not a plan. That is for sure.
I think her argument needs to be, in part, that when the kids are with him, they live in a $125m house in Carpinteria, presumably where they attend school. It's the home she's lived in for the last 20+ years while she stayed home with the children and he left to play in a band and film tv and movies. He's proposing that she live on $38,000 per month in child support (and she also gets a whopping ~ $1m as her total net worth leaving the marriage ). A quick google search suggests that she's not going to find a decent 4-bedroom home in Carpinteria for less than $10,000 per month, and at that price, it is going to feel very different to the kids (and her) than dad's house. How do the kids not hate their dad for doing this to mom? I would - my parents are still married and my dad controls all the money and to this day I still fear for my mom. It's a bad way to treat someone. The cost of living in Carpinteria is very high. They had a traditional, old school marriage where she stayed home with the kids and he did whatever he wanted, but now that it's over, he's kicking her to the curve with relatively nothing (0.25% of assets).
The lawyer who allowed her to agree to this prenup, with no adjustments for length of marriage or number of kids, is to blame in large part.
I also agree that "a man is not a plan". I wouldn't want this for myself or my daughter.

DP. But he gave her 1M so these are all out of her price range. She can’t even get a shitstack in north Arlington for that.
You do realize that most people don’t pay 100% cash for a home? She can easily put down 20% and have a mortgage and go to work like the rest of us.
She can put a down payment and use her insanely high alimony.
Kevin has already offered to cover her home’s down payment and first 12 mortgage payments PLUS the million cash PLUS the child support PLUS all expenses for the teen kids.

She is being greedy and devious and it’s wicked to smear the father of your children like this. He was very upfront and she signed that prenup. She comes across as super shady.
No she doesn’t. We all feel sorry for her. Even if we don’t relate to her because we have a career, she’s our mom, sister or friend. I’d fell sorry for a man who left an 18 year marriage with 0.25% of the marital assets, too. And if I were the judge, I’d throw it out.
