I don't think she is trying to screw him, it's just that if her lawyer had not serve the lottery with papers and Juan had gotten the money he could have easily did away with a lot of the money and that is what the lawyer wanted to stop. In most states the LAW is, if you are married you are entitled and being that Juan and Iris was married for 20 years and had not gotten a divorce yet, she is entitled. You know a lot of people be married for a very long time and in that time period get fed up. N... [ More ]

The woman is just trying to screw his money. If he was the kind of guy who would spend all he got he wouldnt put just 100K in his doughters bank account. 60 milion is way less then the jackpot was advertised, if the government keeps scruing witht the lottery no one will play anymore.

The article said, A source said lottery officials were served papers in connection with the divorce filing. Lottery officials wouldn't comment on whether the divorce action would bar them from making the payout. I thought he was getting around $80 million. Now it has drastically dropped to $60 million?Anyway, what does the divorce have to do with lottery officials making the payout? Why were they served papers in connection with the divorce filing? Someone please explain. I'm no lawyer, but the... [ More ]

The idea of marriage was broken long before, wasn't it? Sounds like it was a sad situation all around.We don't exagerrate, we pontificate on this bulletin board.

Think people. Listen to what is written. I hope the judge pays better attention. Threw him out because he was broke. For better or worse. Marriage contract is broken before winfall. Get it yet.That was media speculation. In part it was true but not the sole nor strongest reason Juan and Iris agreed to

Anybody who has built a life together over the last 20 years deserves half. My wife and I split after 10 years, and I felt she was rightfully entitled to half. Oh yes, I have not won the lotto YET! Powerball is 171 million. In the dvent, I hit the BIG one Mrs. H would be entitled to her 30% here in Texas for the kids. Its only fair.

Let's see separated then together after major windfall. I agree she will get something. Why weren't they divorced before? She would probably get something even if they were divorced. I don't care what he does with the money. It is his. They were separated. This whole country is full of people who think they are entitled. Marriage is for better or worse. It can't just be for better.I sincerely hope she is a wonderful person but I'm a little jaded by past lottery winners' stories. The cemetary ca... [ More ]

Wow. That just goes to show there are always two sides to every story. Hopefully the wife and daughter will be able to get what they need to be comfortable, and he will get his act together so he doesn't end up losing everything.
