The day you get married, you take a risk

The divorce was initiated by his wife

Some people just want to marry you for your money.

These people are very opportunistic

This woman was a gold-digger

My parents aren't divorced yet but they are separated.

They need to evaluate their property

I can get money from inheritance, but not from my parents' divorce, as I am not a part of their marriage.

A gold-digger will often try to make a quick buck.
