Divorce judgments generally encompass splitting and/or liquidating assets acquired during the marriage or relationship (for unmarried couples). Gifts or contributions are not liquidated and stay as such. The kidney was a gift which was donated from him to her. Even if it were medically possible to live without a kidney, no Court at least in this jurisdiction would attempt same. Yes it was acquired during the marriage, so it should be in play, but it was a gift none the less. Divorce turns rational people into total assholes making retarded demands. I had a Judge (for lack of a better term), let me rephrase that, an ASSHOLE, who ordered people who were not part of my litigation to do things or he would put me in jail. Needless to say, the Appellate Division reversed his Order and eventually I got him booted from the Family Part of the Superior Court, but if this case were before my ASSHOLE Judge, he would Order me to give one kidney to the woman and one to her soon to be ex.
