[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The articles say he was planning to file if she hadn’t done it first. Would she have gotten more if she had not tried to leave? I would never have signed that prenup. I would have signed A prenup, but not that one.

Signed,
SAHM who hasn’t worked in 16 years (with no prenup thankfully)[/quote]
I don’t think the full prenup has been released. She’s challenging what she’s eligible for which may be based on specific terms. [/quote]

He's claiming he owes her $1.3 or $1.4M plus the child support and monthly amount towards a rental home. I haven't read anything that says how long the rental allowance will go. Until the youngest child turns 18? Then what? Having 20 years of marriage and no meaningful assets to show for it is pretty terrible. Something in the prenup should have been tied to the length of the marriage, and which person initiated the divorce. Seems to me like she played her cards all wrong here - will be interesting to see what happens. [/quote]

She could have amassed her own assets and she will have rights to any of the assets that she contributed to amassing during the marriage. They had a nanny and multiple household staff so it wasn't like she couldn't work.  This prenup is very similar to Kelly Clarksons and hers was upheld by the court. She only needed to pay her exhusband 1.3 million (a pittance compared to her income of 1.9 million a month), and she evicted him from the property he was living in, and she kept all the houses and assets gained by her work during the marriage! She did have to pay him alimony of 100K a month for 18 months for him to have time to establish his own financial independence, and she is paying him 46K a month in child support so it isn't like he will struggle - same as Costner's wife. [/quote]

It's not comparable. Kelly's husband worked throughout the entirety of their marriage, as her manager, for one thing, and his father is a well-known music manager. Yes, Kelly was wildly more successful, but they didn't have the age gap or as much of a power differential when starting out as the Costners, and they were only married 8 years. Plus, Kelly is paying her ex $45k in child support even though she has primary custody. [/quote]

Kevin and Christine were both well into adulthood and made their choices. Women are not weak incompetent beings. She chose to be with an older man who already had fame and a family - she knew who she was dating / marrying. She could have chosen to have a career and work as well. Women can do that too! So much infantilizing of women. They do not need to be cared for like a child or seen as unable to make their own decisions in life. [/quote]
