nostr:npub1smhgktylyuqqv9dlnxj0aq65s3fzesh2fku47g9z5r6qt9napgasp9hvr3 there's a great bit in craig ferguson's "riding the elephant" memoir where he talks about getting divorced in california. after getting half, the ex-wife also gets 40% of the man's gross earnings for half-as-many years of however long they were married.

so, say you're married six years. your ex-wife gets 40% of whatever you earn (pre-tax lol) for the next three years after the settlement. can't knock the commies! they get things done.
