I read [1] but I didn’t get the impression that he “minimally” supported his kids, especially since the wife’s appeal was basically largely ruled in his favor. Also, can we talk about how toxic some of the legislation in this area?
> Children should share in the standard of living of both parents.
> child's need is measured by the parents' current station in life.
Basically seems like a principle guaranteed to cause children of rich people to grow up entitled. Additionally, all we know here are the financial amounts. I don’t think it tells us anything about his qualities as a parent.
As for the lawsuit against a company he held a 20% stake in:
> OptumSoft's CEO Henk Goosen tells us Arista hasn't lived up to its end of the bargain, and hasn't given back all the improvements made to TACC.
I don’t really see where the spitefulness comes in here. Seems like a legitimate contracts dispute. Can you elaborate on where you’re getting this characterization of him personally?
I’m not saying he is or isn’t. I’m just saying a couple of lawsuits tell you nothing about a person and a divorce proceeding rarely gives you a good representation of that person’s behavior as a spouse and parent.
