@ sbrooks103x - The story is about AVOIDING collateral damage by not destroying the lives of offspring and employees.
@Behindbluis The law you speak of is different in different jurisdictions, but generally wouldn't do anything for the wronged husband here. Normally the law protects those owed a debt. Neither liability nor the amount of damages for he husband's questionable claim have been established so there is no debt until the claim is filed and ruled on in court. With the husband not having filed his claim, in most jurisdictions he wouldn't be able to move against the children who received the assets.
As Anon from 10 days ago wrote, this is a very clever story. The title doesn't make sense to me as there wasna't collateral damage, just a purported attempt to avoid it.
