A woman who didn’t look for work after she split from her millionaire husband---who is a racehorse surgeon---was told by a U.K. judge to go “get a job” because he can’t support her for life.

Ian Malcolm Wright and ex-wife Tracey Susan Wright were forced to sell their 16-acre home after divorcing in 2008, and Wright was told to pay $115,665 per year to her. That money went toward living expenses and their daughter’s school fees.

He claimed his wife made “no effort whatsoever to seek work” following the divorce. Lord Justice Pitchford of the Royal Courts of Justice in London ruled in his favor, saying it is “imperative that she go out to work and support herself,” reported MailOnline.

Before, Judge Lynn Roberts also told her to “just get on with it” and told her to seek employment like the “vast numbers of other women with children.”
