Hopefully someday these outdated marriage laws will cease to exist. In the old days, the male was the breadwinner and the female was not expected to work so it makes A LITTLE sense that the wife would get half. Times have changed. We are all equals. She has equal opportunity to make whatever money she can on her own, as a novelist. Which is apparently what she does for a living.

I think you're conflating two issues.
The splitting of assets for a family who grew a business together is not outdated.
I do agree that in general, a lot of divorce proceedings favor the woman unfairly, but that doesn't seem to be the case here. She wasn't a gold digger. She was with him for 25 years, well before he was a blip on anyone's radar. They had 4 kids together.
Plus, wasn't he the one cheating on her? But I can't find a source other than tabloids, and it seems like they've been separated for a long time too, so maybe it was during that period and not a big deal.
