Or ... after two children and 21 years Grace Hightower's earned a fair share of the $500,000 million amassed over those years. 
What is exactly a "fair share?" Having worked for attorneys and seen a few acrimonious divorces in my time, it seems both parties always have vastly different views on what is fair. In most circumstances, the wife would be entitled to support for herself and minor children. But she is not entitled to bleed the husband dry.
@Hoodat posted above that there is a pre-nup agreement in place with added provisions in the event of divorce that protect Mr. DeNiro should he falls on hard times. Whatever is in that agreement will likely determine what Mi Hightower is entitled to. Seems to me if Mr. DeNiro can prove hardship, Miz Hightower may have to find some other way to pay her big AMEX bill or, as I said previously, reduce her expenditures to what she CAN afford.
It's a shame the parties can't work this out and who knows -- maybe they will. One of my relatives and his wife recently finalized their divorce. Apparently, it was an amicable split -- they were able to work out financial and custody arrangements on their own without court involvement. But my cousin and his ex-wife are both ordinary working stiffs. They don't have $50,000 or $100,000 limits on their AMEX cards. For all I know, maybe they don't even have AMEX cards. But the point is -- when parties are grownups and there isn't all that much money to fight over, people can be reasonable and work out things. It's just sad that the wealthy like these two don't have that same kind of maturity.
