Congratulations to Martin Brodeur, who set the NHL’s all-time wins total earlier this month. And congratulations to Melanie DuBois, who cleaned out her ex-husband in New Jersey alimony proceedings.
The court ruled that Brodeur must pay his ex-wife $500,000 a year until 2020.
Brodeur appealed, asking that he be required to pay alimony only until he retires, which he estimated would be in 2012. Brodeur’s ex-wife, Melanie DuBois, had asked for alimony payments until 2024, when their youngest child is anticipated to graduate from college.
A lower court originally awarded DuBois permanent alimony.
In addition to alimony, DuBois was awarded $132,000 in annual child support and more than $9 million in other assets.
If a tie is like kissing your sister, is doing your sister-in-law like winning a game via shootout? Or is it like scoring a hat trick, and then getting assaulted and robbed in the arena parking lot after the game. Where’s my sports metaphors almanac. I guess that’s technically a simile, isn’t it? Stupid inner Ufford.

Marty always makes sure he has protection.
I’ve just about had it with the courts raping dudes in divorce procedings. 500k a year? WTF? Sure, the guy is making money now, but when his career is done he shouldn’t be required to pay for this bitch to vacation all year round.
132k a year for child support??? How much do kids cost to raise?
I hate the court system.
Permanent alimony?
If I ever manage to get money….
Pre-nup Pre-nup Pre-nup
This is why marriage is for chumps.
Unless you’re a chick, I see no redeeming qualities.
The even more fucked up part? Before all of this even happened, Brodeur had already given his ex-wife over 5 million to keep her “quiet.” Yet, she still kept calling him every day before a game in the playoffs (the last year he won it), and would tell him she was with a guy that they both knew at that moment. But he still won the cup that year. He’s a true hero.
Moral of the story: Don’t marry until you’re in your 30′s if you are an athlete, and sign an iron clad pre-nup.
Even Michael Strahan thinks that this settlement is fucked.
Well, a simile is a kind of metaphor, so you’re in the clear regardless.
I hope that sister-in-law’s pussy smelled like lavender and was form fitted to Marty’s dick. If not, that the most exspensive piece of pussy ever!!
See this is why gays can’t marry. If they get divorced, who is the judge supposed to financially rape in court?
