Melania Trump: what would she be entitled to in case of divorce from Donald?
As rumors of separation multiply around Melania and Donald Trump, a question now arises: how much would the former First Lady get in the event of a divorce?
Throughout her husband's presidential term, she puzzled. The mystery surrounding the person of Melania Trump seems to be intensifying. Discreet since Donald Trump's failure in the US elections last November, the former First Lady continues to intrigue.
To the point that rumors of separation are increasing, while the Trump Organization is targeted by a criminal investigation. Indeed, the couple would no longer live under the same roof. Now, one question predominates: what will happen to Melania Trump in the event of a divorce from the megalomaniac billionaire?
It seems that the former model has already planned everything. For her as for her son, Barron Trump. "If the former First Lady remains married long after leaving the White House, she could renegotiate her marriage contract to obtain more," said lawyer Jacqueline Newman, who specializes in divorces, to the Daily Mirror last January. Because the marriage of Melania and Donald Trump is above all "transactional", according to Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, the former advisor to Melania Trump. As the journalist Mary Jordan, author of The Art of Her Deal: The Untold Story of Melania Trump, confided, the former First Lady would have renegotiated her contract before moving to the White House. Objective: to protect her and her son from a potential blow of glory from her husband.
Several tens of millions of dollars at stake
"Worried about her finances", Melania Trump would have managed to negotiate a nice sum of 41 million dollars. Above all, in the event of divorce, she would obtain custody of her son. A significant point for those who do not want to find themselves in the same situation as Marla Maples, one of Donald Trump's former wives. The latter, mother of Tiffany Trump, had "only" $ 2 million and $ 100,000 in alimony per month after her divorce from the real estate mogul.
Big loser, she had obtained much less than Ivana Trump, the mother of Ivanka, Donald Jr and Eric Trump, and especially the first wife of Donald Trump. The former Czech model was able to negotiate a huge property in Connecticut and an apartment in Trump Plaza in Atlantic City, as well as $ 650,000 in child support a month. But it seems that in the art of discussion Melania Trump has won. Strong surely of a passage to the White House.
