I think this guy should go back to court and point out that her commitment to the marriage also included keeping the house clean and tidy as well as conjugal duties which he expects her to sustain as long as his payment does!

In Miller's case, married less than 3 years, he's having to fork over a third of his savings simply because she had an "expectation of a significantly better standard of living"Comment

The real problem with the miller case is that the judge took in to consideration the guy had f*cked around on his wife. The judgement sounded like the guy was punished for playing away from home, not for the woman losing her earning potential because she was looking after kids...oh thats right...they didnt have kids so what exactly has she been doing for the last three years! (obviously not blowing her husband! )
However I agree with the second case as they had been married for 18 years and she most likely did actually contribute a hell of a lot to running the house and family over that time.

I think these rulings only go to support my assertion that the UK divorce system is designed to maximise lawyer income.Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.
