They somehow wrote in monthly "spousal maintenance" or similar payments in the prenup. It's weird, but legal and enforceable in many states.

Jones probably chooses to try and keep some money in the family by sending it to his wife. I don't really know if there's a debtor hierarchy for this sort of thing, but until somebody challenges it, he's going to keep doing it.

He got married in 2017 and the lawsuits were not filed until 2018. Did he know these lawsuits were coming or something?

Shit, if I had to marry somebody repulsive, I'd want to get something out of the deal. 15k a month is doctor money.

We obviously don't know the ins and outs of their marriage, but this one might just not be about love.

They have a kid together. They must be pretty dedicated to the ruse.

You say this like people don't make terrible relationship choices all the time.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

You're not wrong.

Not like he would marry her if she wasn't willing to put out. People will do a lot for money.

Alex Jones is pretty weird. I don't know if you can safely assume anything about him.
