Forgive me if this post is just a little bit off topic but this is a topic that is rather important to me overall. I went to Seattle recently ( I am now back in Chicago though) to see my divorce attorney and it made me think of the subject in general. In a particular turn of events which might have actually shocked his wife’s family, he attained a very high position over at the Carlyle Group. If the judge agrees to throw out the prenup agreement in question, their marital estate would be divided according to the said New York community property law and be divided equally. Like the estate planning laws it is pretty clear. Incidentially if you are in need of a quality San Diego divorce attorney who also specializes in family law, criminal defense plus being a DUI attorney too.
On the other hand, if the prenup stands, the assets which include an $11 million Upper East Side town house - and bank accounts would be directed to whichever spouse currently holds title.
All in all, Charlotte’s attorney, Robert Stephan Cohen, delivered remarks to Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Laura Drager, saying that when Olivier returned to his homeland in 1997 to sign the prenuptial agreement, he "had not been in France for some 20 years" because his passport had been confiscated for avoiding military service. Of course estate planning is a whole other can of worms. Speaking of that, if in Chicago and looking for a first rate Chicago estate planning attorney I can recommend Matt Miller.
For his part, Robert Michaels, Olivier's attorney in question, responded that his client had flown in expressly to sign the prenup" because he was summoned by his future father-in-law," who was concerned about protecting his daughter's stake in a family trust because the pair had known each other for only three months.”
Attorney Cohen argued that the prenuptial agreement should be voided in this divorce because the couple had not met certain conditions of it, such as getting married in the country of France.
Cohen explained that Charlotte and Olivier married in Nantucket in October 1997 and then had "a fake marriage" in France shortly after.
