Kobe and Vanessa Sittin' In A Tree.....D-I-V-O-R-C-E!

[tropicsgoddess]

It's all over the news and no surprise that Vanessa filed for a divorce after all of Kobe's infidelities. Some people say that she really played her cards right in divorcing him after all this time. For one, they're in the state of California and two, Kobe doesn't have a prenup...so in the words of Ted Buckley from Scrubs....Girlfriend's gonna get paaaaid! To me, cheating is taking the chickenshit route in a relationship because you're not confronting the issues in your relationship or doing anything to make it work. It's bad enough to cheat once but to do it more than once is being a complete scumbag, especially when the spouse has stood by your side time after time and has been faithful to you. I can't say I don't blame Vanessa at all. Payback is a bitch, Kobe and boy are you gonna get taken to the cleaners!

Why is it a good thing they are in California?

Why is it a good thing they are in California?

It's only a good thing for Vanessa since she's entitled to half of his income/assets in the divorce, especially since Kobe never had a prenup.

Ok, thanks.

I thought this half and half for no pre-nup was more widespread.

In California, you get more if you stick around for at least a decade because at that point it's considered a long-term marriage.

Her father says she's learned from her mother, who stuck around with him long enough that she essentially gets a payday until she remarries.

It may not be the classiest thing for her to do...but I shed no tears over Kobe being taken to the cleaners. Nobody deserves it more.

[Andara Bledin]

Oh, no, there are a lot of people who deserve it more. Anyone whose ever abused their spouse deserves it more than anyone who is merely a cheater.

He's just one of the most visible and a popular target for spite.

Kobe needs to go the hell away. He's a great athlete who is a worthless piece of shit for a man. He is no kind of person to look up to or root for.

Eh, cheating can be very harsh if you love the guy. Unless she is very strong, I bet her self esteem was taken to the cleaners years ago.
