Duncan Keith's soon to be ex-wife will have to make do with 60k a month. Maybe Sharpie should kick in a little, amirite?



Duncan Keith‘s off-ice situation has been a difficult one, but for the moment, it could have been more expensive.

The B.C. Supreme Court rejected an interim bid made by Kelly Keith which would have required Duncan Keith to pay monthly fees including $150K in spousal support and about $69K in child support, according to the Vancouver Sun.

Instead, the temporary decision will require the Chicago Blackhawks defenseman to pay $45K in spousal support and $15K in child support (plus mortgage/expense payments) each month. It’s not necessarily the permanent situation, however.

Duncan Keith had previously been giving Kelly $20K per month (including $10K for mortgage and other expenses).

The current indication is that the couple is considered separated.

Here’s more information from the Vancouver Sun about B.C. Supreme Court Justice George MacIntosh’s decision:

MacIntosh added in his oral ruling that there is “some solace” that his interim decisions are intended for a relatively short period, and are capable of being substantially reworked when all the facts are known at trial or in final settlement.

Duncan Keith shared his thoughts about the situation (and rumors surrounding it) shortly after winning his third Stanley Cup with the Blackhawks.

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

60K + mortgage + expenses

If you live correctly, you could bank the overwhelming majority of that 60K and I think it is tax free. Good work if you can get it.

Blackhawks are leaking this to make people think women who fuck hockey players are just sluts looking for money. This is unfortunate. This is on the wrong side of history. Duncan Keith is going to die soon.

Are you saying that you'd fuck Duncan Keith for 60k a month?

Seems fair.

Does she have to demonstrate or list what she's spending the child support money on? How can you possibly spend that much money on a 3yr old?

Keith makes $7.5 million a year, so this is roughly 10% of his salary.

I doubt any justification is needed. Most other people would pay a far higher percentage in a divorce.

What a Caller Bob

That she should have to justify expenses is a common male position in a divorce with kids. A common female position is to deny visitation when a man is behind on his support. A Cook County Court will not appreciate or recognize either position.

Not when you consider the short-term nature of a professional athlete's career. You can't compare an athlete's peak annual earnings with your typical schlub.

This is a rare case where the lifestyle she's become accustomed to claim seems legit. She married a pro hockey player and had kids wiht the thinking that they will be taken care of by a rich hockey player


My buddy from New Lenox is being shaken down pretty hard for the life he made for his wife of 2 years. But when they met, she made as much as he did. Seems unfair but whatever.

When he makes less, it will go down.

Why? He's got a guaranteed contract.

The athlete can get it changed if he has a major change in income.

Yup. They've been dating since they were 16.

In reality, she probably deserves more than 10%.

Spent the last 2 years watching a similar scenario very close. She kept EVERY receipt and sent it on. I am talking Slurpees, parking expense for $1, etc. I might have had a few meals that got submitted. He would call her once a month and have his disputed list. She would say "Fine, lets go back to court and see what they say about your bonus this year!!!"

GD is 100% correct, the money gets banked, the word 'EXPENSES" is very vague.

yes, I actually did feel sorry for the guy, but he did bring it upon himself.

Either side can ask for a change in the agreement, in the event of a major change in income. IN the real world, a consistant bonus increase. I believe you need to show 2 years of income change to go back and ask...

So Keith probably cant get the reduction until 2 years after he is retired.

I never realized how much sympathy giving up 20% of a paycheck for your kid gets around here. You guys should be holding McNugget rallies for guys like me and Hawg

I think most normal guys would give up the most they could for their kids. The problem comes when the money doesnt end of with the kids.

I just found out recently that I have to pay the child support to the end of his school year next year, not when he turns 18. That was a kick in the nuts.

call me old fashioned, but isn't "the lifestyle to which she's become accustomed" something that hinges on being married to a guy? i mean, philosophically speaking, just because someone married rich and lived a glamorous life whilst married into wealth doesn't mean that they've always been rich from day 1 out of the womb, so why can't she "become accustomed" to living life at the level she was at b4 she was married?

you know, it's like if i found a giant bag of cash on the street with a few million in it, i reckon i'd "become accustomed" to the "lifestyle" of having $$$, but once the $$$ is gone i'd have to "become accustomed" to a life without a giant bag of cash... or would i be able to sue the bag of cash for monthly payments to continue the lifestyle i'm accustomed to?

it's funny to me that we lambast certain laws/mentalities as being antiquated (if they don't almost exclusively benefit females) yet other ones like this are prolly in "over my cold dead body" territory cuz i can't see any women wanting to ever give this advantage up. i bet there's some people out there who have schemed that they can marry rich between ages 20-30 and invest a few years in that, then they get out by/around age 30 and get a nice 6-7 figure annual salary locked and they can still catch the tail end of their prime knowing that no matter what they've always got 6-7 figures/year.

TLDR = it's always good to look like a super/model, eh? =D
