I don't know about Australia, but in the U.S., trusts are written in such a way as to not be included in divorce decrees. The contents of trusts are not assets you acquire during your marriage, and therefore, aren't fair game for the "half" argument. Instead, you simply become the executor of the trust and have dominion over how it is used. You never "own" that which is in the trust. This protects the contents from divorces...and estate taxes.

However, since this guy allegedly quit his "oh, so promising career" of serving and "didn't develop employment skills during his marriage", blah, blah, blah. Seems to me, if the dude had sucked a better dick, he wouldn't have been kicked off the gravy train.

Just can't muster feeling sorry for anyone in this story.
