Edict: In 1914 when Albert Einstein found his marriage to first wife, Mileva Maric, was floundering, he issued a list of demands that he believed would allow them to maintain a relationship for the sake of the children. The list, published in full below, is a set of demands that would see Maric become more maidservant than lover.
They separated in 1914, the same year that Einstein accepted a position at the Prussian Academy of Science in Berlin, and divorced in 1919. As part of his alimony, he promised his future Nobel Prize money, and delivered it three years later. The couple had two sons, Hans Albert, and Edward.
