Our thanks to Mike P for this. The start of the piece:
Ant McPartlin’s estranged wife Lisa Armstrong could make £155 million from their divorce, according to reports she has been advised to go after her presenter partner’s future earnings.
It was previously said that Ant, 42, was willing to pay Lisa, 41, half of his £62million fortune to end their marriage amicably.
Yet The Sun reports that The Strictly Come Dancing make-up artist is said to have been told to follow in the footsteps of Karen Parlour, the ex-wife of Arsenal star Ray Parlour, who was awarded a third of the footballer’s future earnings when they divorced in 2004.
An insider told The Sun On Sunday: ‘[Lisa] is not motivated by money [J4MB emphasis] and she has been focusing on getting through the devastating end of her marriage in one piece.
‘But she has a very strong legal team behind her. Their argument is Lisa has been pivotal to Ant achieving his fortune so she deserves to see some of his future earnings.’ [J4MB emphasis]
Remember, folks, Men shouldn’t marry.
Justice for Men & Boys 
The news of this individual’s marital problems are keeping me engrossed in The Daily Mail. (Not)

£155 million for 11 years of marriage. That is just over £1 million a month.
I would like anyone out there to know that I will marry them for a month if they give me £1 million.
Of course they can’t have sex with me unless I specifically agree to it every time. And it’s up to them to get me in the mood. And they have to tell me constantly that I am perfect and my bum doesn’t look big. And like all my friends. And get rid of all those friends of theirs that I don’t like. And they have to spend at least 1 million on the wedding. And …

Perhaps it’s ‘ungallant’ to say it, but she’s hardly a looker, is she? Surely he could have had half a dozen hot grand-a-night hookers on rotation, for a fraction of the cost.
Then again I’ve always had my suspicions about him and ‘Dec’, so maybe the marriage was for show.

Gallant or not, its the truth; she looks like a fairly typical northern slapper from up where I’m from (not many people are great lookers from up there, myself included lol) The kind who has a couple of different kids by different guys, but hasn’t quite gone to pieces yet (its the ones who smoke that arrive at 35 looking like 73). The fact that her better looking millionaire husband hasn’t actually left her for a supermodel tells me that he’s either a classic beta provider, or the rumours are true, and she is indeed his “beard”.

That would explain why she thinks she can have a slice of his future earnings -hush money.

A fair point.
As the saying goes, you don’t pay a prostitute for sex – you pay her to go away (without a fuss or multi-million pound divorce settlement) afterwards.
I’ve always said there are 2 types of men; those who pay for sex, and those who think they don’t.

He should retire and live on what he has earned already. That would have the dual benefit of depriving the grasping bitch of any more of his money and keeping his gormless mug out of the public eye.
He has at least done everyone a service, by giving yet another high profile example of how disgustingly anti-male the divorce laws are in this country.

London is the “divorce capital of the world” for grasping wives of rich men. I gather Scottish Law isn’t nearly so amenable about marital assets. What is the difference?

His future earnings –
so nothing to do with her then, where’s the justice in that?
At least she wouldn’t have to dress from the charity shop’s left-over bin…

What right does she have to this man’s future earnings? Is he a slave that she has a part-share in with the rest of his earnings? Pivotal to his success my ass, that switch in her brain that women have that goes: “Crush your ex-husband and eat his guts for garters” has been flipped and now she’s going to divorce-rape him so hard, he’ll wonder if he ever knew his wife at all.
