        So another deadbeat brought to justice. Whether they pay $$$$ or $ they should pay.

          I understood that the mom is going to never have to work again and live off the fact she got in a short relationship for 7 years and managed to get impregnated by the guy.... hardly seems like the deadbeat was brought to justice.

            I wonder what context that statement was put in under; as it seems to be part of their divorce settlement. Honestly, it sounds like they are both in a position where neither of them would have to really work anyway. She was already a designer, and it sounds like they have a bunch of "rich people" endeavours they are involved in, which likely allows this.

              We definitely aren't in their social circle! I also think it likely that the mother of the "heir apparent" holding down a job is a social no-no amongst most of Europe's aristocratic families, which could be why it was part of the divorce settlement. And... their enormous wealth. She'll be allowed to dabble in the design world.

                I doubt she would never have had to not work if he hadnt impregnated her.. Now Thanks to her gender she is set for life.... I have hard time differentiating this from prostitution

                        Oh please....

                        I am sure that the guy has a brain. You insult men everywhere by acting like they are simply pawns used by women.

                        He pursued her. He slept with her without a condom. He didn't have her sign a prenup. I am sure he knew the risk but did it anyway.

                        If he didn't want to pay for a child, he should have worn a condom, had a vasectomy or masturbated.

                          A lie.... it was under threat of trial - I am sure he didn't just agree for fun.

                          I can make anybody agree to anything if the alternative is a gun to their head (i.e: Trial in a broken system)

                          The fallacy of settlements is that they are entered into willingly... never accept any unfair settlement because it will ALWAYS be said "you agreed".

                            Haha... no pregnancy in the world is worth the milions of dollars that he will have to pay.

                            No rational person without direct knowledge of family law would ever conclude that a child could cost you tens of millions of dollars...

                            The sick twisted world of family law....
                            Q: "What do you do for a living"

                            A: "I got impregnated by a rich guy and left him the following week now I earn way more money than I ever imagined and I will be able to put away enough in my savings account to never have to work again"

                            Q: "You go girl - this is the equality we fought for!!"

                            A: "I'm gonna make him pay, that deadbeat!!"

                              This particular couple was married for 7 years prior to seperating. I presume the kids were around for a few years prior to seperation.
