So you don't think he should pay anything towards the upkeep of his child? While he was building up his business, free of the obligation of paying of his offspring, and the amount of time raising a child takes, his ex was tied to the home. Had his ex-wife said "Here, you have the kid." Would he have what he has now? Had she not been the one looking after the child she could have built herself a decent career and income.
If there wasn't a child involved I'd wave it off as a gold digging exercise. But maybe I'm biased because I'm a step-father to three kids, and in the last five years given more financial and emotional support to them than their biological father did in the previous thirteen.

She hasn't been awarded anything yet. Only the right to apply. the previous court case said she couldn't even claim this late on. It's all to play for.
And for what it's worth she shouldn't get a penny in my opinion. He was living in an old ambulance when they divorced.
You could say that their marriage was an accident waiting to happen then,

At the time the kid was growing up Vince didn't have his fortune. And do we know he never paid any maintenance during that time? Do we know what contact he had with the kid and if he didn't have contact was that necessarily his fault. I know of more cases where the ex-wife has prevented access than cases where the bloke has been willingly absent. Obviously now he has a fortune he may want to help his son (and may well have) but he doesn't necessarily owe his ex a bean.

I read they had only been married for two years,
Then in yesterdays Mail it says eleven years,
It will make a difference when it goes to court,
So which is true ?

He paid nothing and left his ex with a baby to raise on her own. He went travelling for 7 years. Surely the fact his ex was restricted by the sole-parenting of their child whilst he, responsibility free, set up his business is a clear reason he owes her. Don't really see why anybody would side with him having read about the case.

She does and so does he. She because she wants some money, He because he does not want to give her any,
