Divorced wife told to get a job and stop living off her ex-husband

A judge has told the ex-wife of a millionaire racehorse surgeon to get a job and stop thinking she has the right to be "supported for life" at his expense.
Lord Justice Pitchford said divorcees with children aged over seven should work for a living in a decision which signals an end to leisurely living for ex partners of wealthy spouses.
Former riding instructor and mother-of-two Tracey Wright, 51, chose not to be a working mother when she split up with top equine surgeon Ian Malcolm Wright in 2008.
After 11 years of marriage, the couple's £1.3 million, seven-bedroom home, set in 16 acres of Suffolk countryside, was ordered to be sold and the proceeds split.
Mrs Wright came away with a £450,000 mortgage-free house in the heart of riding country, in Newmarket, Suffolk, plus stabling for her horse and her daughters' ponies.

Common sense prevails.

I'd love to be in her position with a lovely mortgage-free house! What's she complaining for?
Any money that she earns is hers and there to pay her bills and luxuries etc....just like everyoen has to do.

Woman are never satisfied are they Eddie?

Hahahahaha Nicko it depends upon the man I guess.....?

But in all seriousness, women like this are just plain greedy imo

About time too.

I like this bit.

It is possible to find work that fits in with childcare responsibilities. I reject her other reasons relating to responsibilities for animals, or trees, or housekeeping.

Responsibilities for trees! I think that was a bit of pisstake.
