Donald Trump is in the middle of a huge legal storm, as evidenced by his involvement in four criminal cases. With the likelihood that he will end up behind bars, coupled with the fact that he’s also running for the presidency, it might seem like now isn’t the ideal moment for Melania Trump to revisit the prenup. However, family law attorney Holly Davis exclusively told Nicki Swift why this assumption is incorrect.
“It is very smart to renegotiate the terms of a prenup to get more money from a person who is the subject of several different lawsuits, especially if he ends up losing these lawsuits,” she shared. “As Donald’s financial status changes depending on the results of the various lawsuits, Melania’s chances of receiving more money from Donald become smaller as his liquidity lessens and lessens.”

Davis also highlighted how Melania has the upper hand during this new round of negotiations and any renegotiations thereafter, as Donald’s legal team is counting on her to back him up in court. “How frequently someone renegotiates a prenup depends on how much leverage the person requesting the revision has. We know that many prosecutors and lawyers would love cooperation from Melania on their cases against her current husband, especially if she plans on divorcing him in the near future,” she added.
