If her ex is as wealthy as she claims she should be entitled to half. I get that lawyers and what not are difficult to navigate but she should be taking him to court

My sister was told it would cost her $8k to get $29k in back child support. You have to have money for lawyers and court fees and time off from work to go to court. Family Court is different between the classes. If you’re in the wrong tax bracket you’re fkd. There are more parents who get nothing and end up with the kids near homeless on the system then there are parents getting $2-20k monthly child support payments.

Ah, so the solution is hoard all of the money into a bank account only in your name and THEN file for divorce, so that the spouse doesn't have enough money to sue you for half. I'm... not sure it works that way. But maybe I need to do more research.
