He hasn't got a leg to stand on and I expect this decision has him hopping mad. If he has to sell his house he'll really be out on a limb and the taxpayer will have to foot the bill.
It is the Achilles heel of divorce law and I expect the appeal judges will be stumped.
This whole mess will cost him an armand a leg.

I think the appeal is crutching at straws.
The real loser is the tax payer - this case will limp along for years, instep with most cases like this.
Re: the judge, I'm going to go out on a limb, and suggest his decision was handicapped by existing legislation - he was effectively cut off at the knees.
