< Back to Previous Page Divorced Man Demands that Estranged Wife Return Kidney A man from Long Island, New York has recently made one of the most preposterous divorce settlement requests ever recorded. The man has been battling with his ex-wife for over four years and, according to him, she has not allowed him to see their children for months at a time. The man, who works as a surgeon in New York is asking for the kidney that he donated to his wife in 2001. He has made the request to have it returned to him, or for her to pay him a sum of $1.5 million dollars. The man says that he has no regrets of donating the kidney, he only wants his wife to settle with him peacefully, so that they can both get on with their lives. Most legal professionals agree that the man will probably not win his case, and liken it to other, more similar cases of men asking for reimbursement for breast augmentation or other cosmetic surgeries after a divorce. Judges typically refuse to put a value to such assets, so the women are not required to re-pay their ex-husbands. Divorce proceedings can be a lengthy and painful process, even without a kidney on the bargaining table! Neither party likes to pay heavy remunerations or court fees.
