My brother and his wife look like a divorce is on the cards. 3 kids 10 yrs and under. Both wanted the "family dream" but she became the bread winner and my brother the "mum" to the kids. She works for a company that flies her all over the world and they even lived in NYC for 2 years especially for HER career. She earns approx $1 million per year plus bonus'.
she "hates" my brother - in simple terms she is a high flyer and the "family dream" she has out grown. She loves the business lunches and Madison Ave Clothes shopping. She will drop $15,000 on a single item. However they dont seem to have any money unless shes popped it all into a swiss bank account. My brother tries to balance the finances but she takes the money and puts in in different accounts. School fees don't get paid on time let alone the rent. ($19,000 per/mth) mind you. They have all come home now to Australia but she is still based in NYC . Wont see her kids for 4 mths. She doesn't need to work this much but clearly her blackberry world is so much more important than her family - yet she wants to do anything to keep the kids away from us and probably my brother when the divorce happens. My brother has said to come home so they can see a lawyer but she keeps avoiding it. She wants an "open marriage". She only gives my brother $600 AUS per week to live on. All you mums out there.... you understand that its pretty hard for him to get a job when looking after 3 kids. She is soooooooo vindictive that she tells her children what a shit family we all are and we are looser's. She is so rude about us all but does it through the children and we hear it from them. talk about having a lost childhood.
My brother is a good guy. A great great father. I just wish he could get this divorce happening fast but i think he is still trying to be amicable with her but shes just not into it. I have told him to forget her and get on with his life.
No idea what his going to do about money. Does anybody know what the courts will grant him when he has been the primary care giver for 10 years to these kids even though he is a man?
Also - now we hear that she didn't get the CEO job, so she is out to "stuff" up the company and said shes quitting after 11 years !!! She now wants to come home from NYC to all of a sudden look after the kids. What on earth can my brother do? Talk about screwing with his mind and him having to be a bit of a puppet?
