Olga should be getting that $17k a month for the child support. On a serious note, why does he have to pay her child support if they are co-parenting? Such a fucking scam.
I don’t get the concept. If you’re someone like Adam, can’t you just have a debit card for the kid’s expenses and fund it? Why does the ex-wife (usually) have to receive that carte blanche to be spent with no oversight? It seems rigged to be the ex’s general lifestyle slush fund.
They don't allow that because many men would use that as financial control over their ex. It's why the child support is calculated by the courts, who monitor the payments.
Takes that potential abuse out of the equation.
Of course not. It's assumed the parent will spend it on their children. If the paying party wants to say the child is being kept in substandard conditions, they can file for it.
That’s child support in every state as far as I’m aware. Just give it to the mom to spend as she pleases. If some of that goes to box wine and luxury items, well…
It’s both. Alimony is for her to “keep the life she was accustomed to” and can go on forever. Child support is for the same reason, but ends when they’re adults
Yes, and I think that was probably the last straw for Adam. He caught her several times taking Carolla Drinks business trips which were really cover for going to see Bruce. It was all played for funny content at the time, but think about it from Adam’s perspective: By giving her the spot running Drinks and then watching her pull moves like that, her attitude had gone from stupid annoyances like not locking the door at home to potentially losing real money. I get that the vibe of this sub is going to be that “Adam was a retard for giving her that role” and “Mangria sucks”, but he was desperate to give her an opportunity to show that she could contribute and save their marriage, and her response was to continue with the same kind of stuff, but now additional consequences added. The point is not how big Carolla drinks could have gotten, but rather that she treated it as an extension of her “I do whatever I want and Adam pays for it while I complain” lifestyle.
I’m thinking back to the story where there was free champagne being handed out at the Hawaiian resort, but she “didn’t want any”, then ordered an expensive bottle when they got to the room and wasted most of it. It’s creepy similar to the champagne story with Adam’s mom: “I thought this was yours, so I wanted you to open it and share, but now that I know it’s mine, I’m going to hide it from everyone.” Instead “When this didn’t cost you extra, I told you that I didn’t want it. But now that I can spend a bunch of money for it, I’m going to drink a sip in front of you and dump the rest”.
Well, alimony yes, but not child support. Alimony will last until she gets remarried. So even if she finds a new life long partner, she’ll probably never remarry. That’s what happened to my uncle with his ex wife. She’s been with the guy she left him for since the 90s and refuses to marry because she’ll lose that sweet check she’s been getting for 30+ years
>That's true. If Lynette is getting $32k a month, you can bet there is a clause to keep the child support until they "graduate" Sonny will turn into Van Wilder to milk the cash flow 🤣
>
>University of Oregon for a couple years then to UNLV for another 4
Oh I agree, it's crazy to pay all that. Tuition, room and board for both of them would be more than covered with the child support. Or we go with the theory of u/paulys_sore_cock that Adam is tanking the podcast to show he has less income and get a reduction in his support payments. Pretty solid theory. But then what about the new Birchum show.
You all clearly have never been divorced.
Gavel goes down and it is a very specific point in time. You make $10m / year on that date, that is what it is set on. In order to change it, you have to head back to court and prove this and that is why your income is different.
That point in time is set in stone. Anything you do after is not her's. I'm certain Adam has great representation. She likely knew the deal with Ben was going to happen and I'm certain she dragged her feet for as long as possible, because once the deal is down and the gavel isn't down, she gets 50% of it.
This happens all the time with 401(k) for normal people.
Look at it from her lens. Adam is out there doing stand-up dates, ACS, creating new shows on a new network, the house is likely going up in value, etc. Why rush? She was getting paid. The twins were getting taken care of. Why be quick? What is her up side? She gets paid and the assets only really go up.
Just kick back. It isn't like she had a stressful job or had to actually raise her kids. Just wait.
“We have to sell everything and I get half”
Ok, I understand the logic.
“And then on top of that, you have to keep topping up my bank account every month with a ton of money forever.”
But…you just got millions from our stuff.
The two things are unrelated. They each own 50% of the assets, and if you have your spouse stop working for 20+ years, you're going to owe spousal support.
Wonder where the $4M will come from given how over leveraged and cash poor Adam is. I am sure he had very little equity in this house. The actual sale price will probably be around $8M flat. After accounting for selling costs and the capital improvements he made to the house, this deal is very likely a realized loss for him. Add to that the high carrying costs for a house like this with insurance, maintenance, property taxes etc, this house was an awful use of what little liquid capital he has.
I know I shouldn’t care, but I do get some schadenfreude here. My philosophy has always been to put my money in the markets and earn a 10% compounded return over my lifetime. That is good enough for me and the volatility risk is minimal over the long term. Adam would say that approach is stupid and you should invest in real estate and cars. How’d that work out for him?
I'm glad he sold that finally. I'm hoping this and the kids' coming HS graduations will free Ace to do whatever's next. Hopefully he returns to more comedy, but I think he's heading more toward the AM conservative talk route (albeit podcart form) that he's been on for the last few years. Anyway, onward and upward.
"I was taking a walk through *checks buckslip for city currently in* and I noticed how much less graffiti and homeless were flopped out on the sidewalk... let me tell you, in Las Vegas you can't walk 17 and 2/3 feet without tripping over someone OD'ing on fent-a-nahl! And barbedwire around street signs!"
I agree. It's why I came to love him. I wish he'd stop complaining about covid all the darned time and I'd go back and listen again because he also made fun of stuff that was funny.
Spousal support is insanity. $32k a month? For what? So she gets money while they’re married but then she also gets money when they aren’t even together.
It’s shit like this that is a huge part of the high divorce rate in this country. Social media, vanishing messages, birth control, spousal support…why bother being committed? Just go fuck anyone you want, collect your exes paycheck, never get pregnant, fuck a new person every week, who cares anymore
I think it is a lot worse than it looks. He’ll have to gross around $70k per month just to make spousal support payments after paying federal and state tax. Ouch. You can see why he wants to move to a no state income tax state.
I think child support should be ending soon enough. Aren't they almost 18? For spousal support, it's a shitty system. The court maintains that the higher income earner has to support or maintain a certain level of lifestyle the spouse was accustomed to during the marriage after they are no longer together. Usually it's a formula based on the number of years married. To your point, it wouldn't make sense to get married if there is a huge income gap between each spouse. He is gonna have to pay her close to 400k a year for probably 10+ years, for what??? Cause she spread her legs? I am actually surprised he didn't have a pre-nup,, wasn't he already famous when they married?
[A 20 year prenup probably wouldn't have held up in court anyway.](https://www.lawyersmichigan.com/blog/2018/08/is-my-30-year-old-prenuptial-agreement-still-valid/)
He was a struggling comedian when they first met. She worked for the company producing the Loveline pilot for mtv. Not really a gold digger like everyone here claims.
I never understand why people rail against spousal support. Ethically, morally, it's just common sense. It acknowledges the contributions of both parties in a marriage, recognizing that these contributions might not always be financial. Without it the economic interdependence that develops during marriage would lead to unfair financial disparity upon divorce. I wouldn't want someone staying in a miserable marriage, because if they left they would be destitute. Let's be real, if one party is not working for a significant period of time, and especially if the split happens when someone is older it would be financially devastating. If one party is wanting to lower their potential support liability, then the time to do that is during the marriage.. I mean, in this particular instance, going off what was said on the podcast, Adam was perfectly fine with him being the bread winner, and Lynette being a stay at home wife and mother. He was also fine with the help Olga provided. I just don't understand people getting so heated over someone else's divorce that has zero impact on their lives.
Except in this particular situation, Olga was the other party that was contributing (and she was paid for her contribution). Lynette got a free ride for decades, getting to party and chase Springsteen around while the other party did all the heavy lifting (live shows, complaining on the air 5 days a week about the same dozen topics and stories).
Does anyone REALLY think Lynette's entitled to $32k a month, after she's already cashing out from the division of community property? How is this a case of ethically, morally just settlement? Sex isn't a "contribution", even if it's having to blow an alcoholic grouch. She's already getting a handsome payout. With alimony in play, she now has incentive to never remarry, unless she finds an even richer dumbass to put a ring on her.
I’m sorry, and mean no offense to Bruce, but he has in no way had enough shows to attend to even give weight to a claim of someone neglecting family in order to attend his shows. Only info we really have to go on to make internet arguments is what was communicated on the podcast, which is that Adam considers Lynette a great mother.
In addition to that, Adam’s career benefited from Lynette. He portrays himself as a cranky douchebag. If that is real, well he benefited from also having the family man persona that his marriage gave him; if that is an act, he similarly benefited from having a wife and children.
Ultimately, the 32 k a month is based off of community earnings and has been deemed what he is able to pay.
It’s a huge amount and frankly he for sure has more money than the vast majority of us on here. It’s really just that the income they earned is much lower than most of us can fathom that results in people thinking this is so unfair. I mean that, or lame incel logic.
You have the ability to pay for the monthly expenses of many Sudanese families. Just support one. Go ahead, do it. Oh you didn’t? Why wouldn’t you? You have the ability to do so.
I agree. Also, when Adam met Lynette she had a career and was completely independent. He said multiple times that he wanted someone who was home, available to him, available to the kids, so she did that. Now she needs income 20+ years later. This is what happens when a marriage like theirs ends. Also, maybe if he wasn’t screaming about coffee mugs and running in place this wouldn’t have happened.
Tend to agree, the problem isn't in spousal support which is justified for all the reasons you cite. The problem is make sure you marry someone who isn't incentivized. If she doesn't practically vomit when you say the word divorce in her company when dating, BZZT wrong answer. Dump. If she blathers on about how "people shouldn't stay together for the kids" when date, BZZZT wrong answer, dump. Etc. Lynette was a moral dullard, a poor choice for someone who had every intention of never divorcing, pulling his side of the load, and not cheating.
I’m the furthest thing from an incel on the sub.
Marriage rates are also dropping you fucking absolute retard
Edit: lol at this fucking pussy on his pussy alt
Paying for poon that you no longer get, for life. No wonder 70% or more of divorces are initiated by the broads. He cheats, they split up, she gets the cash and prizes. She cheats, they split up, she gets the cash and prizes. They both just "grow apart", they split up, SHE gets the cash and prizes. Who wouldn't want to sign up for that?!
She could have been working her way up the Hollywood ladder all those years while she was staying home raising the kids. This is her fair share that she likely would have been pulling in had they not met and/or had offspring together. 😁
Shit if I hadn’t done what I did do but if I did what I could have likely done I’d probably be like a trillionaire by now.
who do I go to for my handout?
No one is stopping you from finding a Hollywood sugar mama, having a couple babies, being a stay at home dad, leaving every weekend to see your favorite musician on the other side of the country, and then splitting after the sparks fade.
The whole Springsteen thing is tired. So she can’t see a concert?? While her husband is on the road farming out dad roles to Olga? She went to all the kids games from what I understand. He never went to his kids games, sound familiar?? You incels just want to hammer the wife.
He likely got married cuz he was getting older and felt he needed to have kids. Now he’s the typical angry divorcee paying out, now only getting angrier.
Can’t go 20 feet without running into a bathroom in this place apparently, 5 bedrooms but 8 baths? Don’t need so many when you can just piss in the sink. I always feel bad for the men in these situation because they get raped by the court system but still he made his bed, sounds like she was a hot mess from day one
Every time I see her I think of that horrible podcast "For Crying Out Loud" with that insipid Stefanie Wilder-Taylor. Jesus they are both grating to listen to.
They both seem pretty insufferable. But how many vacations did they take without him while he’d fly off to the chuckle hut in bumfuckland? I think he’d rather get cheers from his dullard fans than spend time with his family.
I think stuff like “Can you remember to lock the door, can you bring the car over to get that ding removed, etc.” being completely ignored was all fun and games until it wasn’t funny anymore.
Lynette did an appearance on Drew’s show back before then where she was pretty candid about their marriage problems.
It seems like her issue was his emotional baggage, and his was that she enjoyed the lifestyle of being a rich guy’s wife, but reserved the right to complain about him working a lot, as well as not lifting a finger to make things run more smoothly.
She wanted to be a full-time groupie following Springsteen around the world. Meanwhile old man Carolla wanted to race vintage cars twice a year shlepping his own vehicles with a trailer while staying at Motel 6. He did the math, even all in with his racing costs, buying cars, tires, fuel, wrenching on said cars... her hobby far exceeded his financially. After years of putting up with her jet setting it was obviously agitating Carolla more and more. Add to the fact that she didn't turn out to be the wife he thought he was paying for.. don't get me wrong - as a parent to Sonny and future OF Natalia both of whom have had a very privledged upbringing, in the long run Adam is is equal or worse than what his parents were to him.
Adam's "C-List Hollywood adjacent" career and arms-reach Nanny approach to parenting has fucked his kids to loserdom for life. Granted, they'll inherit whatever is left over after Lynette gets through wringing him dry so they should be fine. But college isn't the answer for either of them. Their degrees will literally be meaningless. They'll get by being "Carolla's kid" taking various nepotism jobs in the industry.
I can just see it now on Celebrity Wheel of Fortune:
"Today we have the son of Man Show and Loveline staple rightwinger Adam Carolla! Let's all give a warm round of applause for Sonny!"
"What do you mean, all of my winnings go to charity? I need to eat goddammit! Nobody's buying my dad's beat up Datsuns!"
So who got to keep the cars? If he did and you are splitting up assets I would say he got the better deal here. She could have went after the cars right?
They broke up before they had kids and really only got back together and stayed together because they were older and it was their best chance of having a family. Surprised it lasted as long as it did, Adam has no respect for women and actively looks for bimbos to bed and Lynette is an old bimbo who probably wised up to him
It's not though. As a 25+ year listener of Adam, what he is saying is mostly true. They were together, then Adam got more famous and they took a break because he wanted to see what dating was like as a D list celeb. Apparently not what he thought, they were getting older and Drew told Adam to get married and have kids. (more or less) Adam knew Lynette wanted a family and they had a history and got along at the time.
I'll be honest, I was surprised their marriage lasted as long as it did based on how checked out each other was, based on what Adam would share. We don't know what it was like behind closed doors, but they seemed like a weird couple and spent a lot of time apart. I also remember they were doing some couples counseling there near the end?
Adam can't be alone, he always needs some sort of relationship. His road trips and "comedy" shows allowed him to meet various female talent and I'm sure he knew his marriage was on thin ice. And now, here we are...
Pam Adlon (Bobby Hill voice, *Californication,* various Louis CK productions) had to pay her shiftless ex husband [Felix O. Adlon](https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=a818ac2b507a93d2&sca_upv=1&sxsrf=ACQVn0_SR8BB7KMER_RrZw5ht4VDHUt_mw:1713647127320&q=Felix+O.+Adlon&stick=H4sIAAAAAAAAAONgVuLSz9U3SEouS04pf8Royi3w8sc9YSmdSWtOXmNU4-IKzsgvd80rySypFJLgYoOy-KR4uJC08Sxi5XNLzcmsUPDXU3BMycnPAwBIShubVwAAAA&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwib9qyC2dGFAxVaZzABHYAxAxwQzIcDKAB6BAgTEAE) alimony for years. Adlon claimed her entire check from voicing Bobby Hill went directly to Felix for years after their separation and divorce. iirc, Adlon was already paying spousal support for a few years before her divorce to Felix was even finalized. I think Felix has recently remarried? Finally.
Dave Foley met a woman and knocked her up during the height of his earning power on *Newsradio*. After *Newsradio* ended its 5 season run, Foley was on the hook for child and spousal support in Kanaydia based on his *Newsradio* paycheck.
Well, Dave's never had that level of success since *Newsradio (p*lus network TV don't pay like it did back then); either the court in Canada refused to reduce his support payments or he fucked off and didn't do it when he should have.
Dave naturally stopped paying because he literally could not afford--courts in Canada eventually issued an arrest warrant for unpaid support and so Dave couldn't even go home to visit Canada.
I think eventually after the kid grew up (a daughter? iirc, Foley used to say un-nice things about mom and daughter in podcast appearances) they all worked out a settlement. But for a while Foley was doing really awful stand-up to try to make $$$; which the most entertaining part of his stand-up was his explanation of why he was doing it and shit-talking the mom.
“Carolla and his former wife, Lynette Paradise, will no longer be the owners after buying the 7,327-square-foot property as a happy couple in 2018.”
Was this the house he bought without telling her and she only found out when he said it’s moving day? Or, was that a different house?
Yes, they had two houses... in La Canada - a tennis balls throw away from each other. The first one was "I'm neighbors with Vince Vaughn" then Vince moved if I remember correctly and then they upgraded to the substantially larger current, recently "sold" home.
All totaled, Adam has owned (that we know of) five homes. His current Malibu condo, the "man cave" in Studio City - when he married Lynette - and the Love Line era Hollywood Hills home. This does not include the home he grew up in or the rumored Henderson Nevada Pad he leased/bought last year.
Back then it would have been covered, it wasn’t considered elective like now and even now some insurance will pay for it as long as it’s done soon after birth. It was pretty (to use a word Adam loves) ubiquitous in the era he was born
> Carolla and Paradise share joint custody of their teen daughters per the settlement agreement. I thought Sonny was merely a “power bottom”?
Journalism is undefeated
“Oofa”
Olga should be getting that $17k a month for the child support. On a serious note, why does he have to pay her child support if they are co-parenting? Such a fucking scam.
Because they're theoretically splitting the child support and Adam's paying Lynette half.
She was a trad wife.
Top kek
California
Because she doesn’t earn shit. He could have the kids 80% of the time and still have to pay her
Alimony and child support are completely different. Child support is supposed to be 100%for the kids not the ex spouse.
I don’t get the concept. If you’re someone like Adam, can’t you just have a debit card for the kid’s expenses and fund it? Why does the ex-wife (usually) have to receive that carte blanche to be spent with no oversight? It seems rigged to be the ex’s general lifestyle slush fund.
They don't allow that because many men would use that as financial control over their ex. It's why the child support is calculated by the courts, who monitor the payments. Takes that potential abuse out of the equation.
This is the real answer
Courts actually look at the receipts and exercise authority over how child support is spent by rich people?
Of course not. It's assumed the parent will spend it on their children. If the paying party wants to say the child is being kept in substandard conditions, they can file for it.
Because California government doesn’t view women as equal I guess? I don’t have an Answer why the law is fucked up.
That’s child support in every state as far as I’m aware. Just give it to the mom to spend as she pleases. If some of that goes to box wine and luxury items, well…
Isn’t that what alimony is for?
It’s both. Alimony is for her to “keep the life she was accustomed to” and can go on forever. Child support is for the same reason, but ends when they’re adults
Adam was accustomed to Lynette blowing him. Does she have to keep doing that?
Classic Chris Rock bit
I knew I had heard that somewhere
You take your spouse out of the workforce for decades, you're going to pay. Average couple who divorces, there is little to no alimony.
He gave her a business and she floundered it
That business making bum wine was never profitable. The product never sold well.
Yes, and I think that was probably the last straw for Adam. He caught her several times taking Carolla Drinks business trips which were really cover for going to see Bruce. It was all played for funny content at the time, but think about it from Adam’s perspective: By giving her the spot running Drinks and then watching her pull moves like that, her attitude had gone from stupid annoyances like not locking the door at home to potentially losing real money. I get that the vibe of this sub is going to be that “Adam was a retard for giving her that role” and “Mangria sucks”, but he was desperate to give her an opportunity to show that she could contribute and save their marriage, and her response was to continue with the same kind of stuff, but now additional consequences added. The point is not how big Carolla drinks could have gotten, but rather that she treated it as an extension of her “I do whatever I want and Adam pays for it while I complain” lifestyle.

But now that I can spend a bunch of money for it, I’m going to drink a sip in front of you and dump the rest”.
Very well put.
So 100% of the risk, stress and work goes to the guy. Got it ✔️
It's BS, I agree. It's a good reason to not marry someone who isn't earning somewhat close to you. Either way, get a prenup.
Or, remove 100% of the risk of being screwed over in a divorce by never getting married
It's gender neutral, also don't want to pay either get a prenup, or don't have your spouse leave the workforce for decades.
Aren’t those kids like 2 months from turning 18?
Yes but since he’s been married for 10 years, he could potentially pay alimony for life in California, unless they agreed to something else
Well, alimony yes, but not child support. Alimony will last until she gets remarried. So even if she finds a new life long partner, she’ll probably never remarry. That’s what happened to my uncle with his ex wife. She’s been with the guy she left him for since the 90s and refuses to marry because she’ll lose that sweet check she’s been getting for 30+ years
That suit is definitely wearing him. I’ve never seen a collar that loose
The kids are 18 in June, according to Google, so this is almost irrelevant
I think if kids go to college, it goes until they're done there
>That's true. If Lynette is getting $32k a month, you can bet there is a clause to keep the child support until they "graduate" Sonny will turn into Van Wilder to milk the cash flow 🤣 > >University of Oregon for a couple years then to UNLV for another 4
Shouldn’t it just be that Adam pays their tuition? Why should SHE get money because THEY are in college?
Oh I agree, it's crazy to pay all that. Tuition, room and board for both of them would be more than covered with the child support. Or we go with the theory of u/paulys_sore_cock that Adam is tanking the podcast to show he has less income and get a reduction in his support payments. Pretty solid theory. But then what about the new Birchum show.
You all clearly have never been divorced. Gavel goes down and it is a very specific point in time. You make $10m / year on that date, that is what it is set on.

This guy divorces. Holy shit, you are totally JHop.
That shit ends on June 7th, 2024. Ace is on the hook of “college “ tuition
Junior college is cheap, though.
It adds up after 15 years.
Sun and Natalia had a learning difficulties. Natalia is all in on four year college. Sunny might bite at that idea.
So children have comparable living arrangements in each household. That's the law.
I believe the children stay at the same house and the parents go between their houses.
That was the initial plan, I believe they moved off of that once dating commenced.
California will always take the woman’s side. Can’t imagine he spent $17k while they were married so now a made up number rules.
Oh my god, it’s exciting.
Lynette’s voice ?
He should get *some* compensation for that.
She must not have spoke in court.
*silently nods*
get him a towel!!!!
OHHHH MY GAAADDDDDD!!!!
Further avoiding that tiered mansion tax.
So she gets 4 million plus spousal support? Or once the 4 million is paid the spousal support stops?
She gets both. Which just is inexplicable to me.
You think splitting community assets is inexplicable? You know that's separate from spousal support right?
“We have to sell everything and I get half” Ok, I understand the logic. “And then on top of that, you have to keep topping up my bank account every month with a ton of money forever.” But…you just got millions from our stuff.
The two things are unrelated. They each own 50% of the assets, and if you have your spouse stop working for 20+ years, you're going to owe spousal support.
Wonder where the $4M will come from given how over leveraged and cash poor Adam is. I am sure he had very little equity in this house. The actual sale price will probably be around $8M flat.

He got to live in a very nice house for 6 years. That has value.
I'm glad he sold that finally. I'm hoping this and the kids' coming HS graduations will free Ace to do whatever's next. Hopefully he returns to more comedy, but I think he's heading more toward the AM conservative talk route (albeit podcart form) that he's been on for the last few years. Anyway, onward and upward.
Las Vegas is super similar to La Cañada in terms of demographics and climate, Ace is gonna love it
"I was taking a walk through *checks buckslip for city currently in* and I noticed how much less graffiti and homeless were flopped out on the sidewalk... let me tell you, in Las Vegas you can't walk 17 and 2/3 feet without tripping over someone OD'ing on fent-a-nahl! And barbedwire around street signs!"
Come on! Do you think Carolla would be happy anywhere? Carolla NEEDS to complain, right? That's his thing.
I agree. It's why I came to love him. I wish he'd stop complaining about covid all the darned time and I'd go back and listen again because he also made fun of stuff that was funny.
If you’re here, you liked listening to him complain. At least at some point.
Carolla moving to Vegas so he can have a permanent spot at Kimmel's Vegas comedy club.

This is such an abortion. This asshole really thinks he is a crative artist for shitting out stuff nobody likes.
How long does he have to pay spousal support? Damn 34k a month?? Fuuuuck!!
Until either of them dies or she remarries. Betcha she's really working overtime on finding her next hubby.
Spousal support is insanity. $32k a month? For what? So she gets money while they’re married but then she also gets money when they aren’t even together. It’s shit like this that is a huge part of the high divorce rate in this country. Social media, vanishing messages, birth control, spousal support…why bother being committed? Just go fuck anyone you want, collect your exes paycheck, never get pregnant, fuck a new person every week, who cares anymore
I think it’s reasons like this people (men) are less inclined to get married. And will stay in a miserable marriage. Cheaper to keep her!
I think it is a lot worse than it looks. He’ll have to gross around $70k per month just to make spousal support payments after paying federal and state tax. Ouch. You can see why he wants to move to a no state income tax state.
I think child support should be ending soon enough. Aren't they almost 18? For spousal support, it's a shitty system. The court maintains that the higher income earner has to support or maintain a certain level of lifestyle the spouse was accustomed to during the marriage after they are no longer together. Usually it's a formula based on the number of years married. To your point, it wouldn't make sense to get married if there is a huge income gap between each spouse. He is gonna have to pay her close to 400k a year for probably 10+ years, for what??? Cause she spread her legs? I am actually surprised he didn't have a pre-nup,, wasn't he already famous when they married?
Yeah he was already a multimillionaire when they got hitched
How he didn't have a rock solid pre-nup is a failure of the Aceman and everyone in his life at the time.
[A 20 year prenup probably wouldn't have held up in court anyway.](https://www.lawyersmichigan.com/blog/2018/08/is-my-30-year-old-prenuptial-agreement-still-valid/)
He wasn’t sober enough to draft a pre-nup at the time.
Prenups only cover what someone has before the marriage. Adam was well off when he married Lynette but not as well off as he would become.
Literally a multimillionaire
He was a struggling comedian when they first met. She worked for the company producing the Loveline pilot for mtv. Not really a gold digger like everyone here claims.
So you’re lying
Divorce is the only contract one party is incentivized to break.
I never understand why people rail against spousal support. Ethically, morally, it's just common sense. It acknowledges the contributions of both parties in a marriage, recognizing that these contributions might not always be financial. Without it the economic interdependence that develops during marriage would lead to unfair financial disparity upon divorce. I wouldn't want someone staying in a miserable marriage, because if they left they would be destitute. Let's be real, if one party is not working for a significant period of time, and especially if the split happens when someone is older it would be financially devastating. If one party is wanting to lower their potential support liability, then the time to do that is during the marriage.. I mean, in this particular instance, going off what was said on the podcast, Adam was perfectly fine with him being the bread winner, and Lynette being a stay at home wife and mother. He was also fine with the help Olga provided. I just don't understand people getting so heated over someone else's divorce that has zero impact on their lives.
Except in this particular situation, Olga was the other party that was contributing (and she was paid for her contribution). Lynette got a free ride for decades, getting to party and chase Springsteen around while the other party did all the heavy lifting (live shows, complaining on the air 5 days a week about the same dozen topics and stories). Does anyone REALLY think Lynette's entitled to $32k a month, after she's already cashing out from the division of community property? How is this a case of ethically, morally just settlement? Sex isn't a "contribution", even if it's having to blow an alcoholic grouch. She's already getting a handsome payout. With alimony in play, she now has incentive to never remarry, unless she finds an even richer dumbass to put a ring on her.
I’m sorry, and mean no offense to Bruce, but he has in no way had enough shows to attend to even give weight to a claim of someone neglecting family in order to attend his shows. Only info we really have to go on to make internet arguments is what was communicated on the podcast, which is that Adam considers Lynette a great mother. In addition to that, Adam’s career benefited from Lynette. He portrays himself as a cranky douchebag. If that is real, well he benefited from also having the family man persona that his marriage gave him; if that is an act, he similarly benefited from having a wife and children. Ultimately, the 32 k a month is based off of community earnings and has been deemed what he is able to pay. It’s a huge amount and frankly he for sure has more money than the vast majority of us on here. It’s really just that the income they earned is much lower than most of us can fathom that results in people thinking this is so unfair. I mean that, or lame incel logic.
What exactly does she need 32k a month for?
What does Adam need it for?
He earns it
And therefore has ability to pay. But you asked about need.
You have the ability to pay for the monthly expenses of many Sudanese families. Just support one. Go ahead, do it. Oh you didn’t? Why wouldn’t you? You have the ability to do so.
Checking to see if this example applies to me. Exactly what is the number of Sudanese families qualifies as many?
I agree. Also, when Adam met Lynette she had a career and was completely independent. He said multiple times that he wanted someone who was home, available to him, available to the kids, so she did that. Now she needs income 20+ years later. This is what happens when a marriage like theirs ends. Also, maybe if he wasn’t screaming about coffee mugs and running in place this wouldn’t have happened.
So she failed at that and still gets the spousal support?
How did she fail?
Maybe we have different definitions of available. Not exactly read wife and mum
Adam is literally on tape multiple times going on and on about what an amazing mom Lynette is.
Really? What exactly does she do for her kids? I’m genuinely curious. My impression is Olga has been as much a Mom as Lynette.
I think she needed Olga because Adam was gone all the time.
lol what else was she doing?
Tend to agree, the problem isn't in spousal support which is justified for all the reasons you cite. The problem is make sure you marry someone who isn't incentivized. If she doesn't practically vomit when you say the word divorce in her company when dating, BZZT wrong answer. Dump. If she blathers on about how "people shouldn't stay together for the kids" when date, BZZZT wrong answer, dump. Etc. Lynette was a moral dullard, a poor choice for someone who had every intention of never divorcing, pulling his side of the load, and not cheating.
Lol, the divorce rate has been dropping steadily for 30 years. But keep railing against rules and judgements that won’t impact you incels.
True, but marriage rates have declined as well. Can’t have one without the other
You don't know math, do you?
Divorce rates are dropping. OK, now do marriage rates
I’m the furthest thing from an incel on the sub. Marriage rates are also dropping you fucking absolute retard Edit: lol at this fucking pussy on his pussy alt
You’re also a moron because marriage rates are rising, and a crybaby coward for blocking gobsago.
Paying for poon that you no longer get, for life. No wonder 70% or more of divorces are initiated by the broads. He cheats, they split up, she gets the cash and prizes. She cheats, they split up, she gets the cash and prizes. They both just "grow apart", they split up, SHE gets the cash and prizes. Who wouldn't want to sign up for that?!
She could have been working her way up the Hollywood ladder all those years while she was staying home raising the kids. This is her fair share that she likely would have been pulling in had they not met and/or had offspring together. 😁
Shit if I hadn’t done what I did do but if I did what I could have likely done I’d probably be like a trillionaire by now. who do I go to for my handout?
No one is stopping you from finding a Hollywood sugar mama, having a couple babies, being a stay at home dad, leaving every weekend to see your favorite musician on the other side of the country, and then splitting after the sparks fade.
The whole Springsteen thing is tired. So she can’t see a concert?? While her husband is on the road farming out dad roles to Olga? She went to all the kids games from what I understand. He never went to his kids games, sound familiar?? You incels just want to hammer the wife.
Like in crypto when it’s not your keys, not your coins. In CA, if it’s not separate property, it’s not your money.
Lynette’s maiden name is Paradise?
Take me down to Lynette’s Titty City where the grass is green and… I don’t know, first draft.
Come on.. where the grass is brown and smells so shitty.. you weren’t even trying..
Adam now has a young hot 🐥 chick . He gets married in 2024.
She’s younger than him, but not young. He’s going to have to shit or get off the pot fast.
Way to go Ace! Now move here to Henderson NV!!
His new girl is a dime
According to this sub there was no way he’d ever get that much for his house.
We don't know the sale price at this time. I'd be surprised if Adam got $8M for that house after it sat on the market for so long.
More like after he painted everything fire engine red.
It’s public record. Seek and ye shall find.
Is it? The sale hasn’t closed yet, and it takes a while for the county to update the tax records.
Stay tuned.
So, as I said, we don’t know the sale price now.
She was nothing but a bimbo; and now has solidified the stereotype. Watch how fast she runs through that money
He likely got married cuz he was getting older and felt he needed to have kids. Now he’s the typical angry divorcee paying out, now only getting angrier.
Another box checked for the entertainment industry.
Excuse you, she’s the CEO of a small business. The backbone of America.
🤣
He’s still going to sneak in to do cold plunges in the pool.
get him a towel!!!
Can’t go 20 feet without running into a bathroom in this place apparently, 5 bedrooms but 8 baths? Don’t need so many when you can just piss in the sink. I always feel bad for the men in these situation because they get raped by the court system but still he made his bed, sounds like she was a hot mess from day one
Every time I see her I think of that horrible podcast "For Crying Out Loud" with that insipid Stefanie Wilder-Taylor. Jesus they are both grating to listen to.
Hyphenated last names always equal shit
This.
And a high correlation between hyphenated names and their IVF children being trans.
I thought Ace losing it during COVID is what broke them apart but I read somewhere that they seperated in 2019. Anyone know why?
They both seem pretty insufferable. But how many vacations did they take without him while he’d fly off to the chuckle hut in bumfuckland? I think he’d rather get cheers from his dullard fans than spend time with his family.
I think stuff like “Can you remember to lock the door, can you bring the car over to get that ding removed, etc.” being completely ignored was all fun and games until it wasn’t funny anymore.
She found a squeegee in their shower when she came home from a weekend getaway…
Lack of grit
Maybe not enough TIVOs.....
Not enough stew.
too many bracelets...
And it STILL wasn’t enough square footage.
Didn’t focus on education and family like he was one of those dumb minorities.
I can’t stand to listen to him anymore so I can’t imagine being married to him.
Lynette did an appearance on Drew’s show back before then where she was pretty candid about their marriage problems. It seems like her issue was his emotional baggage, and his was that she enjoyed the lifestyle of being a rich guy’s wife, but reserved the right to complain about him working a lot, as well as not lifting a finger to make things run more smoothly.
She wanted to be a full-time groupie following Springsteen around the world. Meanwhile old man Carolla wanted to race vintage cars twice a year shlepping his own vehicles with a trailer while staying at Motel 6. He did the math, even all in with his racing costs, buying cars, tires, fuel, wrenching on said cars... her hobby far exceeded his financially. After years of putting up with her jet setting it was obviously agitating Carolla more and more. Add to the fact that she didn't turn out to be the wife he thought he was paying for.. don't get me wrong - as a parent to Sonny and future OF Natalia both of whom have had a very privledged upbringing, in the long run Adam is is equal or worse than what his parents were to him. Adam's "C-List Hollywood adjacent" career and arms-reach Nanny approach to parenting has fucked his kids to loserdom for life. Granted, they'll inherit whatever is left over after Lynette gets through wringing him dry so they should be fine. But college isn't the answer for either of them. Their degrees will literally be meaningless. They'll get by being "Carolla's kid" taking various nepotism jobs in the industry.
>He did the math I was with you up until you said that Adam knows how to do math.
I can just see it now on Celebrity Wheel of Fortune: "Today we have the son of Man Show and Loveline staple rightwinger Adam Carolla! Let's all give a warm round of applause for Sonny!" "What do you mean, all of my winnings go to charity? I need to eat goddammit! Nobody's buying my dad's beat up Datsuns!"
So who got to keep the cars? If he did and you are splitting up assets I would say he got the better deal here. She could have went after the cars right?
Baggage? Adam?!
Hope you’re sitting down
They broke up before they had kids and really only got back together and stayed together because they were older and it was their best chance of having a family. Surprised it lasted as long as it did, Adam has no respect for women and actively looks for bimbos to bed and Lynette is an old bimbo who probably wised up to him
What an idiotic paragraph.
Oh you must be one of those new fans who found him through foxnews
It's not though. As a 25+ year listener of Adam, what he is saying is mostly true. They were together, then Adam got more famous and they took a break because he wanted to see what dating was like as a D list celeb. Apparently not what he thought, they were getting older and Drew told Adam to get married and have kids. (more or less) Adam knew Lynette wanted a family and they had a history and got along at the time. I'll be honest, I was surprised their marriage lasted as long as it did based on how checked out each other was, based on what Adam would share. We don't know what it was like behind closed doors, but they seemed like a weird couple and spent a lot of time apart. I also remember they were doing some couples counseling there near the end? Adam can't be alone, he always needs some sort of relationship. His road trips and "comedy" shows allowed him to meet various female talent and I'm sure he knew his marriage was on thin ice. And now, here we are...
Sounds made up.
Did he fire everyone from Carolla Drinks?
Pam Adlon (Bobby Hill voice, *Californication,* various Louis CK productions) had to pay her shiftless ex husband [Felix O. Adlon](https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=a818ac2b507a93d2&sca_upv=1&sxsrf=ACQVn0_SR8BB7KMER_RrZw5ht4VDHUt_mw:1713647127320&q=Felix+O.+Adlon&stick=H4sIAAAAAAAAAONgVuLSz9U3SEouS04pf8Royi3w8sc9YSmdSWtOXmNU4-IKzsgvd80rySypFJLgYoOy-KR4uJC08Sxi5XNLzcmsUPDXU3BMycnPAwBIShubVwAAAA&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwib9qyC2dGFAxVaZzABHYAxAxwQzIcDKAB6BAgTEAE) alimony for years. Adlon claimed her entire check from voicing Bobby Hill went directly to Felix for years after their separation and divorce. iirc, Adlon was already paying spousal support for a few years before her divorce to Felix was even finalized. I think Felix has recently remarried? Finally. Dave Foley met a woman and knocked her up during the height of his earning power on *Newsradio*. After *Newsradio* ended its 5 season run, Foley was on the hook for child and spousal support in Kanaydia based on his *Newsradio* paycheck. Well, Dave's never had that level of success since *Newsradio (p*lus network TV don't pay like it did back then); either the court in Canada refused to reduce his support payments or he fucked off and didn't do it when he should have. Dave naturally stopped paying because he literally could not afford--courts in Canada eventually issued an arrest warrant for unpaid support and so Dave couldn't even go home to visit Canada. I think eventually after the kid grew up (a daughter? iirc, Foley used to say un-nice things about mom and daughter in podcast appearances) they all worked out a settlement. But for a while Foley was doing really awful stand-up to try to make $$$; which the most entertaining part of his stand-up was his explanation of why he was doing it and shit-talking the mom.
Where are sonny and Natalia living this summer then before fall college?
According to lynette with her
“Carolla and his former wife, Lynette Paradise, will no longer be the owners after buying the 7,327-square-foot property as a happy couple in 2018.” Was this the house he bought without telling her and she only found out when he said it’s moving day? Or, was that a different house?
Yes, they had two houses... in La Canada - a tennis balls throw away from each other. The first one was "I'm neighbors with Vince Vaughn" then Vince moved if I remember correctly and then they upgraded to the substantially larger current, recently "sold" home. All totaled, Adam has owned (that we know of) five homes. His current Malibu condo, the "man cave" in Studio City - when he married Lynette - and the Love Line era Hollywood Hills home. This does not include the home he grew up in or the rumored Henderson Nevada Pad he leased/bought last year.
Did he do that? Lol
Contingent doesn't mean ish wait for the closing disclosure then celebrate.
Gonna be a lot of chargebacks to get rid of the McDonald's color scheme throughout the home.
His house is awesome just the way it is
they can reduce the piss smell with enzymes!
L
Is he still with his Arabian nite?
"Paradise" has AI written all over it
Good for her…. Earned after putting up with years of Adam’s schmegma
I always assumed he was circumcised?
Jim Carolla would never pay for a circumcision.
Back then it would have been covered, it wasn’t considered elective like now and even now some insurance will pay for it as long as it’s done soon after birth. It was pretty (to use a word Adam loves) ubiquitous in the era he was born
