Robin Williams, killed by punishingly cruel Alimony ?

Williams also admitted that he was troubled by his finances. He was reportedly forced to pay $30million during his 2008 divorce from his second wife Marsha Garces, the film producer who is mother to his last two children, and first wife Valerie Velardi.

Last year, he admitted that he was selling his $35million Napa estate because he could no longer afford it. He listed it in April for $29.9million - a $5million markdown from what he paid for it.

He also admitted that he was working many of his recent gigs - including a new TV show for CBS - to make money. He was also working on six movies this year - leaving four of them unfinished.

He admitted he returned to TV after nearly three decades because two divorces have left him short of cash.

The comic’s breakups cost him £30million and he claims to need a ‘steady job’. He was also selling his $30million California ranch due to his sizeable alimony payments.

Williams said: ‘Divorce is expensive. I used to joke they were going to call it “all the money”, but they changed it to “alimony”.

'It’s ripping your heart out through your wallet.’

His marriage to Valerie Velardi ended in 1988 after the pair had been together for 10 years. The actor then wed his son’s nanny Marsha Garces with whom he stayed for 19 years and had two children with.

The couple divorced in 2008. Williams is now married to graphic designer, Susan Schneider.

That is terribly sad   

Looks like he had crappy lawyers.

Courts are out of control...Thanks to court bias, women routinely rape their husbands financially for years and years and leave their former husbands living hand to mouth...

I don't know if it was cruel or not. I dont know how much he was worth at the time.

It appears he cheated on his first wife with the nanny, then married her and must have helped her become a producer.

I am told he was extremely generous and kind. He may not have protected himself along the way as he should have and found himself left not where he wanted to be later in life.

I read he had a drinking problem but really I would bet there were other "things". You can only drink so much money away. But you can give it away when drunk that's for sure.

He was well loved by all. Including myself. we lost a treasure.

All too often true, unless your name is riceme, in which case husband rapes wife and leaves former wife living hand to mouth. I only know one other woman who's gotten done like I did in divorce.

Sorry riceme, there's always an exception..sad it was you, you deserved better..

Sorry, I still get sensitive when I feel like I'm being lumped in with all those bitches who have taken children away from fathers and taken financial advantage of men in divorce, even though I know that in reality I am likely not. :/

You are certainly not alone.

Many, many women are so eager to get out of abusive relationships that they willingly give away what is rightfully theirs to escape.

Yeah, my friend Merry willingly left behind her home, vehicles and money and is happy to still be alive. She has been married to a colleague of mine for 20-years now... they're a great couple and have two beautiful children. It's funny, I volunteered at a battered women's shelter for years. I could help everyone else, but could never help myself. The mind is a mysterious place.

Been there, done that once upon a time. It was worth it to get away. Period.

News today, Robin Williams was recently diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease.

I done it. no regrets. looks like there are a few of us here who walked away.

Always nice to know that you're in good company, even if I didn't exactly walk away... same net effect. :]

William's wife confirmed through the media that her husband was in the early stages of Parkinson's disease...depression...money problems and health issues...certainly explains a lot....
