Melania Trump: in case of divorce, she would get 41 million euros and custody of her son Barron
As the former presidential couple just celebrated their 16th wedding anniversary, rumors persist about a divorce between Donald and Melania Trump. In this case, the ex-First Lady could get 41 million euros as well as custody of their son, Barron.
What if leaving the White House meant separation? Since entering the Oval Office, Donald Trump has not ceased to be the subject of rumors about a possible divorce from his wife Melania. Indeed, the latter has multiplied the gestures of rejection during public performances. According to The Daily Mirror, the former American First Lady could pocket more than 40 million euros, or $ 50 million, if she decided to permanently end her marriage with her husband, subject to a new procedure of impeachment. Lawyers quoted by the tabloid claimed that the 50-year-old former Slovenian model could also get custody of their only child, 14-year-old Barron Trump.
"If the former First Lady remains married long after leaving the White House, she could renegotiate her marriage contract to obtain more", also indicates the New York lawyer Jacqueline Newman, specialized in divorces. For her part, London lawyer Jannette Johnson believes that this financial agreement could include "penalty clauses" in the event of misconduct, like Donald Trump's alleged affair with pornstar Stormy Daniels. If speculations on a possible divorce have punctuated the entire presidency of Donald Trump, twice divorced, they are now at the heart of rumors since Melania Trump is no longer required to honor her public responsibilities as First Lady.
Their marriage, a financial stake
Already in 2018, the former director of public relations of the White House, Omarosa Manigault -Newman, predicted the certain end of the presidential couple, arguing that Melania "counted every minute" before being able to leave Washington and therefore leave her husband. More recently, the one who also worked with Donald Trump in The Apprentice spoke on the set of the British show Lorraine on this subject. "What I've observed for the past 17 years would make your head spin," she said, according to comments relayed in October 2020 by Newsweek. Sometimes they love each other but sometimes he disgusts her. According to several observers, Melania Trump could also choose to continue her marriage with her husband, because she would be "too worried about her finances".
