As the divorce between Donald Trump Jr. and his wife Vanessa continues to move forward, the parties are at odds over several issues. One item of contention is their prenuptial agreement, which is believed to be similar to that of Trump Jr.’s father. If so, she could face an uphill battle, even with the services of her marital agreements lawyer. It is unlikely that Florida readers will learn the details of how the couple decides to divide their fortune.
Depending on the terms of their prenup, Vanessa Trump may have little chance of receiving more than was outlined in the original document. If the couple had one or more clauses regarding infidelity, there may be room for negotiations. Trump Jr. is rumored to have had several affairs during his marriage, including one that allegedly took place while his wife was pregnant with their fourth child.
It seems that Trump Jr. is not fully aware of the scope of his wife’s net worth. Vanessa received a sizable inheritance just before filing for divorce. While that wealth is protected from loss in a divorce, any income she receives as a result of the inheritance could be part of calculating child support and other financial matters.
Both parties are expected to submit a statement of net worth, which will outline their individual assets, liabilities and income. That step will allow them to negotiate the specifics of their property division and child support issues. The disclosure will also help Vanessa’s marital agreements lawyer determine the next steps. If Trump Jr.’s prenup is anything like those of his father, few details could be made public as the couple settles and moves on, leaving many in Florida to speculate.
