Even on this board several have brought up Robin Williams' divorce settlements as being unfair and contributing to his death.

You could bring up the parallel issue of having children from high earning athletes to establish a guaranteed income stream through the support.

No way is it a bigger issue than domestic violence though. If you have children you have an obligation to support them. If your spouse was a partner while you were earning the income, then they have a right to that portion of the assets.
