Melania and Donald Trump's prenuptial agreement, analyzed with a magnifying glass: what will happen to her if they divorce?
The defeat of Donald Trump against his opponent Joe Biden has caused many international media to speculate with a hypothetical divorce between the former president and his wife, Melania Trump. It should be remembered that the two signed a prenuptial agreement in which it was left in writing that it would occur in the case of an end point between the two.
Peter Stambleck, from the law firm Aronson Mayefsky & Sloan, has confessed to Town and Country magazine, as reported by The Mirror, that he himself recommended to Trump a prenuptial agreement based on title control. "She makes it very clear that, in the event of a divorce, everything in her name will be hers and everything in her name will be hers," he explained.
He has pointed out that capital like Trump's is very complex at the administrative level, which complicates any separation: "Billionaires have complicated asset structures. They have shell companies, LLCs, investments in other companies, and it is very, very complicated."
Precisely for this reason, Trump "forced" Melania to sign this agreement. An agreement that after the electoral results resonates with more force: "One of the main purposes of a prenuptial agreement is to avoid having to share that, but also to avoid the headache that involves the production of all the documents and that the accountants come and examine everything. Theoretically, that is what could happen in the absence of a prenuptial agreement ", has qualified the lawyer.
He has also revealed that the exclusive jewels that he has been giving him during the marriage will continue to be Melania's in the event that they end their relationship.
In addition, Jacqueline Newman, managing partner of Berkman Bottger Newman & Rodd, has also given her particular point of view to the same magazine. For her, custody of the 14-year-old son they have in common, Barron, would fall to Melania: "I guess she would get the primary custody rights and he would have access every time he was in town."
Regarding his financial assets, he sees it impossible that from now on he will lead a life as comfortable as the one he has led up to now: "In this situation, if you have 50 million dollars, you can afford to buy something. But 50 million, although definitely it's a lot of money, in New York City, from what she's used to, I couldn't replicate what she has now. He probably had a good idea of the kind of lifestyle they'd lead, so I imagine the pay would be quite a bit generous ", the professional has added.
It should be remembered that when Trump arrived at the White House in 2016 they modified the pre-agreement to set out some of Melania's demands, those related to the well-being of the child: "I wanted written proof that, in regards to financial opportunities and inheritance, Barron he would be treated as an equal to the three eldest sons of Trump, "the Washington Post reporter Mary Jordan collected in her book, The Art of Her Deal: The Untold Story of Melania Trump, as we already collected in Informalia.
Another former assistant, the politician of the Democratic party and reality star in the US, Omarosa Manigault Newman, went further and assured that the marriage is over: "Melania is counting every minute until he leaves the White House to be able to divorce", argued in a recent interview.
