Court orders man to split $80m lottery winnings with ex-wife | IOL News

Michigan - How much credit can a person take for good luck? That was the question at the centre of a high-stakes divorce case that came before a Michigan appeals court last week.

But his attorney, in a court filing cited by the Associated Press, argued that the credit was his alone. The couple had been married seven years when they both filed for divorce in 2011, but the divorce wasn't final until 2018, the AP reported. When Rich bought the winning ticket in 2013, they were living separately while the arbitrator worked out the details of their split, including child support payments and custody of their three kids.Months after Rich's big win, the arbitrator noted the father hadn't paid child support.

After filing for divorce, the couple agreed to appoint arbitrator John Mills "to decide all contested issues," according to the court filing. But Mills died in 2014, after deciding that the lottery winnings were part of the marital estate but before the arbitration process was complete.

Lawyers take justice minister to court in row over race and gender quotasA race and gender row is rocking the legal fraternity because of a “one size fits all” policy that dictates how many white and black men and women can sit on new provincial watchdog bodies.
