Why did she have to pack up and move out? And other observations...


Being a community property state, wouldn't she have been able to keep the house and get half of his earnings?

It did not make sense that she had to move into a little apt while he lived the high life with his blonde bimbo.

Also why was the divorce trial held in a big courtroom with spectators? Wouldn't this kind of case be held in a judges private chambers?

Lucys lawyer was actually on Alberts payroll, so she got really screwed in the divorce

Yep. I kept wondering the same thing. She'd have gotten half of his (or their) assets in the state of California. One of those Rolls Royces would've been hers.
