Don't know if any of you saw this on the news, but poor old Arsenal midfielder Ray Parlour looks like he's in for a wallet-emptying from his estranged missus. Not content with two houses and £250k per year 'maintenance' she wants a percentage of his future earnings too !
If this case goes through, there could be a lot more future earnings claims in subsequent divorce cases - not really the most helpful thing for promoting the institution of marriage is it ?

Not always the case. However, given Ray Parlour's profession, could he really argue that he'd be able to give them a more stable life than their mother?

Would it work the other way round if she was pulling in the cash and he was kept at home as a ginger love god?

I would love to get married someday- but this sort of stuff scares me so much i dont think i ever could. I know too many people that have been f*cked over big time.
Not even like a pre nuptial is legally binding in the Uk either..

I stand by my statement: Find a woman you really hate- and buy her a house.

P.s
His ex wife looks like Bernard Matthews

I've seen that happen - City career wife on £500k pa, hubby got custody of the kids, family home, large slice of income.
