The daughter was adopted from China. All three boys are his.
25 years is respectible for a marriage length. She carried his whiny ass through the dotcom start up probably cooking, cleaning, a few pregnancies, and being the sole bread winner while his paycheck was uncertain.
She upheld her end of the bargain while Jeffrey didn't. She deserves half.
Why are all you guys arguing about her and her money? Who gives a flying fuck?
By divorcing him now, she is utterly destryoying the future of those children. Their souls will be torn in half. They will never, ever recover. They may heal a bit on the outside with help from a lot of lying therapists who tell them "you'll heal". Their parents will lie to them "Don't worry kids, it will get better". That's like telling a kid "don't worry, you'll heal" as you strap them forcibly down on a gurney, as they scream in terror, so you can remove one of their kidneys to sell on the black market. Sure, they will heal after you mutiliate them. How exactly does that justify mutilating them?
Inside their heads, the kids want to say: fuck you you lying sack of shit adults. Fuck you therapist ass kisser. Therapists making $300 bucks an hour to say ANY DAMN THING that the parents, who are paying the 300, tell them to say. But the kids can't make themselves heard...being as they are KIDS and therefore not strong enough to defend themselves, they don't have that choice.
What happens in divorce is that everybody LIES to the kids. The kids believe it for some period of time...a year, a decade, whatever...but eventually they figure out that the whole process was designed to give mom her freedom to ABANDON her kids and run off and have fun doing the Eat Pray Love routine. Dad will continue to be buried in work and won't have time for them.
Their family has already been a difficult one because of the riches and fame, but at least they could cling to their memories of mom and dad and fun times. Now those memories, every single one of them, will be revealed as lies. Everything happy or meaningful about their childhood will now be revealed as a lie.
Because Mom decided to fuck them over. Oh, and down deep in her heart mom knows exactly what she is doing. What she is doing is no different than the woman who locked her kids in a van and drove the all into a lake to commit suicide. She hates her kids and the fact that Jeff has gotten all the glory while she's been stuck at home. Now she's getting revenge by destroying them all.
That's how divorce-with-kids works. Should be absolutely illegal. There is no way for your typical ego-poisoned woman to resist destroying her family in a fit of temporary anger. The only thing to do is make it a crime.
