Recently, a divorce dispute case caused by winning the lottery has once again aroused heated discussions among netizens. Let's see what happened to this case and what the court's verdict will be.
The parties, Xiao Zhou and Xiao Lin, have been married for five years. On May 13, Xiao Zhou participated in lottery betting, but he didn't expect to be lucky, and won a super high prize of 10 million yuan with only one note. After winning the lottery, Xiao Zhou immediately transferred 2 million yuan to his sister, saying that his sister had helped her before, which was a little heart.
And Xiao Zhou has not forgotten his ex-wife who has lost contact with him for many years. According to Xiao Zhou, he divorced his ex-wife due to financial difficulties, and his ex-wife has been living alone with her children until now. And this time after winning the lottery, Xiao Zhou decided to provide his ex-wife with an advance payment of 700,000 yuan to fund her purchase of a new home.
However, Xiao Zhou did not consult with his current wife, Xiao Lin, when making these decisions. Xiao Lin was very dissatisfied after learning about it, thinking that the 10 million yuan bonus belonged to the joint property of the two husband and wife, and Xiao Zhou's unilateral payment of the bonus violated the joint property rights. So Xiao Lin took Xiao Zhou to court and demanded that 60% of Xiao Zhou's money to his sister and ex-wife be taken away.
In the first instance, the court made the following judgments: First, in view of the long-term discord between the parties, the parties were granted a divorce. Second, the 10 million yuan lottery winning belongs to the joint property of the husband and wife and should be divided equally. Third, Xiao Zhou's unilateral expenditure to his sister and ex-wife also belongs to the disposal of joint property, and Xiao Lin should receive 60% of its share.
This verdict once again aroused heated discussions among netizens. Some netizens said that the court's judgment took into account the interests of both parties fairly. On the one hand, it was confirmed that the lottery winning money belonged to common property and should be divided equally, which safeguarded the rights and interests that Kobayashi should enjoy as his wife. On the other hand, it also retained Xiao Zhou's right to dispose of it to a certain extent, and did not award all the expenditures to Xiao Lin, leaving Xiao Zhou with freedom of life.
Why don't you tell your current wife
From another point of view, this man has a good conscience and does not forget his ex-wife when he is rich
Is there a plot now?
Some netizens also pointed out that this case shows that in marriage, trust is very important for either party. Xiao Zhou should have consulted with Xiao Lin in advance, instead of using the joint property without authorization. His actions may have made Kobayashi feel distrustful and disappointed.
In addition, more netizens paid attention to the reasons why Xiao Zhou divorced his ex-wife back then, as well as his move to buy a house for his ex-wife this time. There is a view that Xiao Zhou's contribution to his ex-wife may be a kind of compensation for the relationship back then. But in reality, Xiao Zhou must know how to find a balance between legal awareness and emotional inclination.
In general, the court's handling of this case was not wrong and took into account the legitimate rights and interests of all parties. But more importantly, the person getting married must understand that marriage is based on trust and cooperation, and that unilateral actions by either party can undermine this foundation, leading to legal disputes. It is only through communication and shared decision-making that couples can face the twists and turns of life together.
