I think the math works something like this…
Getting a divorce… 50% of Sean’s assets, cheating on the commy dirtback 50% minus alimony, finally having a chance to be with a real man… priceless

Um, I’m a woman and I don’t believe in spousal support. Okay so she gave up career opportunities for her kids… sooo… how about we make the kids pay her back too? It’s stupid. It’s called a sacrifice. Hence the phrase “give up career opportunities” not “temporarily give up but then get paid for it later career opportunities”. And it’s all based on the assumption that she would have landed roles to begin with, or had success at any of them. I guarantee she wasn’t forced at gunpoint to turn down roles. As a pregnant woman she was ultimately given the choice if whether or not she’d turn down a role.. and now we’re supposed to turn around and make Sean pay for it? Last time I checked there are plenty of actresses who continued to work even after pregnancy. And although most of them were in television, the point is that pregnancy doesn’t automatically mean dead career. Yes, Sean should pay child support. But since when is it men’s responsibility to support a woman who is no longer in his life? If she’s such a talented actress, I’m sure she’ll have no problem landing roles now. She can support herself. Period. When my own parents split, there was no such option as getting spousal support. And all my mom cared about was knowing her children would be taken care of. I’ve only ever known celebrities to ever ask for shit like spousal support. And as Amy pointed out, everything will be split 50/50 so it’s not like she’ll be left with nothing. But once you’re out of a marriage… as far as I’m concerned your life and well-being becomes your own responsibility. And the same goes for these non celebrity men who seek spousal support from their celebrity wives. And these women who demand money to “maintain a lifestyle”. It’s just such bullshit.

Good points Amy.

My question is; Who gets custody of Hugo?

California LAW says 50/50 split of property. Rarely are women given spousal support or alimony anymore. She will get 50% of their assets (although knowing him, he probably hid half his dough overseas). She probably wasn’t going toe ven ask for spousal. This was his way of sticking it to her. Rumor is, after umpteen years of putting up with his s*&t and f-ingaround on her, she finally grew a pair and had an affair with a producer who treats her right. I say go girl, you still have your looks, your talent and your personality. Yes Sean, people actually like Robin, she actually has friends, unlike you.
To the idiot who said the women are sticking together as gold diggers you need to get your head up out of your butt. This woman gave up numerous career opportunites to raise her kids and the law recognizes that. Who do you think was going to raise them if she didn’t? Her coke freak, bimbo banging fool of a husband? He probably couldn’t even open his bloodshot eyes till mid- afternoon. Thoe kids would be dead or emotional wrecks without her.
Note to the women bashers out there. Young kids don’t raise them selves, its a 24/7 job and its very hard work. That’s why the law recognizes the 50/50 split.

Sean is not a man to rely on.

All assets during marriage must be split into two. No matter his wife can stand on her own.

Am i right?

The fact is that she makes a heck of alot less than he does. For “I Am Sam” in 2001 he made $5 million. For “Unbreakable” in 2000, she made half that. She was up for great roles that she couldn’t take because she was pregnant with his kids and some that she didn’t take because she needed to be with her family.

My husband makes nearly three times what I do. In the event of a divorce, damn straight I want spousal support. I put my career on hold to raise our kids and if he decides to ditch me once they are mostly raised, I’m going after everything I can get. If that makes me a gold digger, oh well.

Good for him. I’m not surprised the women on this board are sticking together, and you wonder why men think of women as gold diggers.

He shouldn’t have to pay spousal support. She was not a stay at home housewife who gave it all up to raise the kids. She’s not hurting in the finance department and has had a good career.

There is a big difference between Robin Wright and her husband…I can name one of her movies (The Princess Bride).

He held her back all these years, in my opinion.

Penn didn’t file for divorce. He filed for Legal Separation. So he doesn’t want to support Robin, doesn’t want to be with her, but he won’t let her go.
