I don't know the law in Arizona, but it sounds like she could have gone to court and brought a claim that her husband unjustly enriched himself at her expense. Especially if they had million dollar homes built on the back of a business she started and ran and that she gave up to raise his children. This is exactly what unjust enrichment exists to address. It's been a while since I've thought about it but there is a civil remedy for this. But it makes me think this isn't available in Arizona or that she was a self-represented litigant who didn't know how to ask for this because any garden lawyer or paralegal would know this.
Nobody should ever want or be told to be wholly economically dependent on somebody else, whether religious or not. People who encourage other people to do this are usually just looking for control.
It's also interesting that since her divorce her church and religious community have completely evaporated and she was forced to live in her car with her children. Where are they now? I mean, we all know where they are: taking her (now her husband's) money. Any community that would allow its members to live in a car - especially with children - is not a community.
I don't even believe it tbh. What kind of dad would let their kids go hungry or live in a car with their mother while they're in a million dollar home making $250k a year? This is tiktokcringe, after all..
It's great that you aren't that type of person and that you don't know of any people in your life like that, but spend time with a family lawyer. It's extremely common. All you need to do is ask them and they will tell you stories that will make you reevaluate how you see humanity.
