Apparently she hated him so much that she couldn't let the divorce be the end of it. She wanted to make sure that he was totally broken and his life destroyed even after the divorce. Some twisted feeling that she thought he had to be punished for what he'd done to her.
Yes. Thank you. That's what I got out of it and that mentality isn't all that far fetched in the real world.
It was an ugly divorce. The movie doesn't really need to feed us any more insight into it. I picked that up just by the hurtful comments she was making at the hearings. She wanted to play with his emotions and make him more bitter. The divorce just isn't enough for some people. They want to keep "hitting 'em where it hurts." She claimed that she felt she was "poisoned" by her ex-husband, she wanted to dish out as much agony at him as possible and rub his nose in it at the same time.
Also, the way he was kinda acting like "whatever, lets get this over with" probably angered her and drove her to go even further with the maliciousness.
