A 2013 survey by the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML) discussing prenuptial agreements revealed that 63% of divorce attorneys said they have seen a rising number of prenups, while 46% of lawyers also noticed an increase in women initiating the request for prenup agreements. Recently in the news it was revealed that actress Kelly Cuoco, who earns $1 million per episode of Big Bang Theory, entered into a prenuptial agreement prior to marriage with her then Husband, Ryan Sweeting. The actress filed for divorce after only 21 months of marriage. In her case, thanks to an ironclad prenup, her former Husband, who has an estimated net worth of $2 million, will only be receiving $165,000.00 plus up to approximately $65,000.00 for legal fees. To summarize, the actress who has a net worth of $45 million ($43 million MORE than her former husband) can thank her attorney and prenup for saving her from her former husband receiving a BIG pay day at the end of the divorce.
Having an experienced attorney draft a prenup that leaves no room for interpretation, and protects the client is key when it comes to divorce. Contact the attorneys at The Orlando Family Firm Law today to discuss your options.
