Why does the husband have to pay for 30 percent of the lawyer's fee for the wife if the wife is the one filing for divorce?

The divorce laws in this country are

It’s a multi billion dollar industry

She’s going to be winning a lot of these this year

She was the most engaging part of the movie tbh. Maybe bc her character was more relatable personality wise, imo. I like how she was all about the facts but still connect to her softer, feminine and emotional side when necessary; she was also empathetic and compassionate but looked like she would kick a person’s head off if they tested her (in self defense of course). I also saw how they created this “sexual aura” and dynamic with her character whenever there were men in the room- the use of her “seductive prowess” and flirtiness to get what she wants. Notice how when they were in that courtroom she took off her sweater when the arguments became more intense, purosely taking it off real slow(lol) . Like it shows how appealing to a basic instinct can manipulate a discussion. In the conference room, she was very complimentary to the husband, walking around in a fitted dress. She knew what to use and when- her mind and knowledge.

Purely out of competition. I’ve seen that type of pettiness irl. I’m more shocked at how the judge allowed her to wear that spaghetti strapped ‘nightgown’ dress that she had on in the courtroom and how the ex husband wakes up everyday wanting her to die

I’m usually not into drama type movies but they had me feeling some type of way. Thanks, OP.

Dap and rep, it's interesting how women see the movie compared to men

Maybe I liked it a little more than when i led on in my initial response, now that I’m thinking back at the different parts.

Like I said earlier, drama/rom-com movies are usually not my thing but I watched this until the end so that says something. The movie wasn’t on my radar and I wouldn’t haven’t watched until I saw your post actually. Salute. Pending rep.

I don’t know too much about divorce or family law, (I wouldn’t touch that shyt with a 10ft pole) but he’s the primary income provider and generated the most money; I think that’s how it usually works. In some cases, the husband pays for the entire legal fees. I’ve seen amicable couples who each decide to pay for their own or reverse where the wife is the main income generator and pays. Most cases if is the husband bc the wife is stay at home or makes substantially lower than the husband. On top of the lawyer fees, that’s not even including alimony, child support, medical insurance, school tuition, recreational expenses. High net worth individuals have a seperate court process than regular income - that would include accountants, financial analysts, private investigators, that’s seoerate and apart from the lawyers. They weren’t exaggerating the monetary expenses in this movie. End up paying $150k to get a divorce on top of the other payments.

I was reading your posts confused like “does she like the movie or hate it? “ lol. I had a similar reaction. After it ended initially I was like “eh, it was okay I guess.” But when I thought about it more I was like “damn, that was a great movie”

I definitely didn’t hate it. Like you said - Mixed feelings, I guess. It’s one of those movies where I had to “reflect”, the more I thought about it and read the commentary- There’s layers to it. Like wow, that was deep.

I had a former coworker who went through something similar to the main character.
He lost the mortgage on his home, still paying off his lawyer, has to pay full child support and only gets partial custody of his kid. I think his ex wife was an RN so she was making money than him
It was ironic they split after having a kid.
The baby was maybe 2 months before they called it a wrap.

 

[High quality poster]

That's ironic considering shes been criticized her entire career for having wooden acting.

She gives me wood. I can tell ya that

Just finished it, real good movie.

Ray Liotta and that one lawyer when Adam Driver's character met with them for the first time was the best part
