When it comes to the statement that money never sleeps Michael Douglas’ ex-wife lost money on Wall Street. No, not the stock market.

No divorce lawyer can settle this in a way that won’t hurt the children involved. All the money in the world won’t give them back a secure and stable home life with both of their parents.
