How Much Money Would Melania Get If She Divorced From Donald Trump?
The money you would receive would probably not be enough to support your current lifestyle
Although nothing has been confirmed yet, it has been speculated on several occasions that Melania Trump would be seeking a divorce from the current president of the United States.
Due to these rumors, Town & Country magazine requested the opinion of several lawyers to calculate how much money the First Lady could receive if she ended her marriage to the president.
Faced with this question, Jacqueline Newman, a partner at the law firm Berkman, Bottger, Newman & Rodd, estimated that Melania would receive approximately more than $ 50 million.
Although $ 50 million is a lot of money, in New York City he would not be able to maintain the lifestyle he leads now, Newman said.
Remember that when Trump divorced his first wife, Ivana Trump, she received $ 14 million, in addition to an apartment in New York and a mansion in Connecticut. In addition, lvana also received $ 650,000 in alimony and child support while her children were growing up.
New Terms
It should be noted that the prenuptial agreement between Melania and Trump may have been renegotiated after Trump assumed the presidency. Thomas Kretchmar, a partner at the law firm Chemtob, Moss & Forman, said it is highly likely that the First Lady made a post-nuptial agreement with the help of her attorneys.
“Sometimes post-nuptials are used as a stopgap for an eventual divorce. Other times it really is just a review or refinement of existing rights in light of a change in the circumstances of the spouses, ”Kretchmar said.
On the other hand, the truth is that there is also a high chance that this divorce will never happen. At least that's how Kate Bennett, author of the book "Free Melania," thinks that the First Lady is very religious, and that is why she would avoid separating from her husband. In addition, it must be borne in mind that the couple has already been together for 20 years, so it seems that they have already gotten used to being with each other.
