'I'm a lawyer and this is what will happen to Britney's money in her divorce from Sam'

ok.co.uk:

Britney Spears and Sam Asghari's split could lead to a rather messy divorce, with reports claiming that Sam has allegedly threatened to go public with "embarrassing information about Britney" if he doesn't get a large payout.

Despite this threat, others have suggested that the prenup, which he signed ahead of their wedding in June 2022 and after six years together, keeps Britney's assets as separate property, not marital assets, meaning he will be highly unlikely to get any extra cash.

Now Samantha Woodham, Barrister at 4PB, has exclusively told OK!: "In cases like this, prenups exist to make sure there’s clarity from the very beginning about the way assets will (or won’t) be split once the couple divorces. "Under normal circumstances, it’s far simpler to navigate divorces following a short marriage with a prenup in place, than a long marriage without one. "If this was happening in England, in order to persuade the courts that the prenup shouldn’t be upheld, Sam would need to prove that he was under duress, fraud or misrepresentation when it was signed. "The other main argument he could make is that the terms of the prenup would leave him in a position of huge financial disadvantage and real need. "But given this was such a short marriage and the agreement would have been drafted by a highly experienced legal team, it’s unlikely the terms of the agreement would leave Sam in a position of real need." While Julie Cohen family law associate at SA Law tells us that California's courts tend to be reluctant to stray away from "properly executed" pre-nuptial agreements.

She told OK!: "California courts are reluctant to stray away from terms of a properly executed prenuptial agreement and I would be interested to know what.
