Just because other people have been jackasses does not give you an excuse to be a jackass. I've seen plenty of divorces that ended quite happily because both people were civil to each other. You just don't hear about those because they don't usually make much noise. But even if you believe that it does justify it, however misguided that is, since when does a divorce ever justify screwing over your children in addition to your spouse? At that point, it's just pure greed.

> screwing over your children Let me get this straight, Warren Buffet won't fork over his $$$ to his kids because he wants them to learn the value of a dollar and that makes him a hero. But this guy is screwing them over and is greedy? Are you his divorced ex-wife? How do you know what his motivations are for withholding the moola?

  His children will not inherit a significant proportion of his wealth. This is consistent with statements he has made in the past indicating his opposition to the transfer of great fortunes from one generation to the next. Buffett once commented, "I want to give my kids just enough so that they would feel that they could do anything, but not so much that they would feel like doing nothing". Since when is Warren Buffet "screwing over his kids"? He wants to give them enough that they can do ANYTHING. That doesn't sound like "screwing over". If that's "screwing over", I'd love to be screwed over! And if this billionaire had good reason, perhaps, like Warren Buffet, he would have explained it? Are you his divorced ex-wife? Don't you love the smell of ad hominem attacks in the morning?
