All because they were married for 12 years. They didn't even have kids. Like how insane is that?

My parents (mother and step father) invested money heavily in Europe. My step father would buy a car at one of those car auctions dirt cheap, fix it up, and sell at for cash for a huge profit. Every other month he flew over to Europe and invested the money. This was all under the table, no taxes, etc.... When they divorced they agreed with the lawyers to split everything 50/50.
