Idk about the pre nup but here she would be entitled to half the assets they accumulated during the marriage. So they may need to sell the house and then she will have to live off the proceeds.
I do not get these people who don’t work and then this happens. So nuts
There is a high profile Pritzker divorce happening right now with of course both sides paying a fortune for high-priced lawyers.
One of the big issues is the wife signed a pre-nup which specifically provided a lump sum payout, but no division of marital assets. It's like a $10MM payout...which is nothing compared to the marital assets and the XH is worth like $7BN. She claims she signed it under duress, but this happened 30 years ago so that argument doesn't really hold up. She was an investment banker prior to marriage, but stopped working immediately.
Long story short...most people think she will lose this case. She also is 99% certain to not get any proceeds to the marital house because ownership was transferred into a trust which is another common tactic.
The $$$s aren't the same in the scenario presented by OP...but it could be quite similar on a relative basis.
I don't know why anyone is so certain as to why Person A will definitely receive X or not.
