Which is why Stephen offers a 50:50 split… unless he has something he can blackmail Jade with.The US has "no fault" divorce laws which split assets 50/50 no matter what state you're in. The only way to keep assets out of play from a former spouse is through pre-nuptial agreements and normally those can only cover assets acquired before the marriage. Assets accrued during a marriage are typically up for grabs. Child support and alimony can be forced to be paid in addition to the separation of assets but are determined by time in marriage and income disparity after the dissolution.
Of course blackmail isn’t legal, and Jade could always say, “Nah, screw it; the money’s way more important than my career,” and tell the cops and DA on him. And in the process of investigating him for blackmail, they discover all his other shenanigans. Between one professor fucking students, and another professor funding a prostitution ring, it’d ruin the college. Could make a fun storyline.
But I doubt DPC will ever go there. Jade will likely just scream at Tremolo about irresponsibly not deleting the video and exposing her, and end their affair with angry sex. Or a kick to the balls. Leaving him to, I dunno, fuck one of the main LIs instead—tho probably not Sage.
