[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Idk where she is but here in nyc the judge will impute income and anyway alimony tops out at $200k a year and you would not get cs on top of that (both would top out there) but will be less bc of the imputed income. Cs only if you have majority custody. 
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 [/quote]

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.[/quote]

What does the prenup being 30 years old have to do with duress not holding up? Duress happens at the time of signing.[/quote]
Because she had 30 years to contest it. She was clearly fine with it for 30 years and didn't claim it was duress. Why now? Oh, because it's biting her in the a$$. Why don't people review contracts they are signing? [/quote]

Also, it's he said / she said.  The XH said that 30 years ago she was of perfectly sound mind and signed it with no problems.

There is no video or other evidence and the judge seems to think anything that occurred 30 years ago is pointless unless there was some kind of hard evidence.[/quote]
