If they left of good terms then I say he should give her something but if she was mean to him and ruined

his reputation then he should ignore her

Kevin Halstead should reconsider any relationship with his ex, except to communicate with her in the interest of his daughter.

It is most unwise to remain in any other relationship whatsoever with his ex. This is what homicides are made of.

I just don't feel good about it at all. Being naive can get you killed. Nevermind good intentions.

He divorced his ex for a reason. He needs to move on with his life.

I'll take a stab at this...He is a passive aggressive who really wanted to rub it into his ex-wifes nose...Didn't he say something about getting a mansion

When you're not mired in dogma it's easy to see that real relationships aren't based on a piece of paper. Anyone who thinks they were committing adultery doesn't have a clue what a marriage really is.

And where does the article say they're filing separate tax returns? I've known a couple of people who never divorced because they didn't want to divide or sell real property. In some instances a paper marriage is much more convenient than other business structures.... [ More ]

Why did he go public? The UK lottery allows winners to remain anonymous, he should have taken that option. What is to be gained by going public

You mean he ACTUALLY WON a Lottery where the prize has in it? Every time I win one of those it's a scam.

I wish Kevin all the best but I think he's mistaken if he thinks he'll be able to continue driving the bus.

The article read: Despite moving in with new partners, they remained husband and wife in name only for the sake of their daughter Jessica, 14. Odd notion/mindsets ... how does the notion of adultery being practiced by BOTH parents help a child? The only outcome is that the child is exposed to two ADDITIONAL adults who have no qualms regarding daily displaying that they mock the union-of-marriage. Additionally, in the U.S.A., married-yet-filing-seperately income tax filers pay more than any other... [ More ]

Very happy to see that the ex's are still friends. I hope the money or the media doesn't mess up their friendship. I hope Mr. Halstead uses his money wisely.

It was an amicable divorce and Helen Halstead was happy to wish her former husband the very best of luck for the future.

She couldn't have imagined how quickly that wish would be fulfilled.

Just weeks after their split, bus driver Kevin Halstead won 2.3 million (US$3.5 million) playing the Lottery.

His ex-wife is now coming to terms with the fact that, but for the divorce, Mr. Halstead might have been legally obliged to share his windfall with her.

Instead, she is making do with her... [ More ]
