Lorna Jorgenson Wendt (June 14, 1943 – February 4, 2016) was an American corporate wife whose challenge to the divorce laws in Connecticut set a precedent for the value of the economic worth of corporate spouses.
She argued that a wife is a 50-50 partner in a marriage, and therefore worth half of the assets.
She was eventually awarded about one-fifth of the estimated worth of the estate.
