My anecdotal experience is that in acrimonious splits men will fight hard for custody even if they don't really want it and have shown little interest in child-raising until the divorce.

Money, custody, but most of all, ego. My anecdotal experience is that in acrimonious splits men will fight hard for custody even if they don't really want it and have shown little interest in child-raising until the divorce. Sometimes it's about control, sometimes its about punishing the wife if she's the one who wants out, and sometimes it's cover because they know they're not going to get it, but they can then create a narrative about being aggrieved and victimized. For an entitled (and religious) man, the public seeing you get divorced and your ex take the kids back to England is a big ego blow - it seems like you're not a great husband OR father, I imagine is the (dumb) narrative his PR folks are trying to get ahead of. But if she's perceived as the one at fault, then he can play the victim - of his wife and the courts (the judge in the Danny Masters case really nailed it on that). Only evidence and hard financial data are going to come into play in the legal decisions, so all this press is simply to court public opinion.
I remember they sold their house in Miami in April of this year, and this website had already trained me to pay attention to celebrity real estate! So this wasn't quite a shocker to me. I always thought she was too good for him.
The saddest part was that I knew that neighborhood as a kid in the 80s and I can't believe how high the property has gone. It was Good but not Great back then, older homes for people with money (but not MONEY) that were surrounded by a rough inner city. My own childhood home wasn't too far away and that has also become a millionaire's neighborhood (but yknow just a single million)
