In all the marriages Trump did, he signed a contract before the marriage.It was said in the contract with the second wife that if the daughter goes to the army, her allowance will be stopped.Melania pressured to change the contract several times after marriage
Donald Trump has been married three times. Before every marriage, he made a prenuptial marriage agreement (prenup) with the future wife, in which how much money he would get in case of divorce and what would be the conditions. It is told about this. Nowadays, rich people in America and Europe do similar contract marriages. Which is considered legally valid.
However, in all three marriages he entered into different types of contracts. With every marriage the compensation he paid to his wife kept decreasing. However his wealth kept increasing.
what happened in the first marriage
Trump first married Ivana Trump in 1977. This lasted till 1990. In this, before marriage, Trump and Ivana signed a prenup, which included provisions for confidentiality and financial arrangements. After the divorce, Ivana reportedly received around $25 million (Rs 210 crore) as per the marriage contract. This included a mansion and annual child support payments of $650,000 (Rs 5.5 crore).
What kind of contract in second marriage
Trump married Marla for the second time in 1993, which lasted for six years i.e. till 1999. In this, before the marriage, Trump put a condition in the prenup that if he gets divorced in the first five years, he will get $1 million (Rs 8.5 crore).
If they remained married longer than this, the amount would increase to $5 million (₹42.5 crore). It also included alimony and confidentiality clauses, which prevented further personal information from being disclosed. It is said that Marla was not very happy with this contract.
The agreement also controversially stated that child support would be stopped if his daughter Tiffany took certain actions, such as joining the military.
Melania later got the contract changed under pressure
Trump’s third marriage took place with Melania in 2005. She is also his current wife. That means it has been 19 years since this marriage. After marriage, Melania reportedly talked about her pre-marriage contract several times. First he did this during Trump’s presidential election campaign. Then when he became President in 2016, this contract was changed on Melania’s insistence.
The latest amendment is said to be focused on ensuring financial stability for his son Barron in the event of a divorce. The terms of their prenup have not been publicly disclosed in detail. It is understood that this includes substantial financial provisions for Melania and Barron. It is believed that in the agreement that Trump had made with Melania before 2016, he was to get the least amount of money as per the contract. The conditions for the maintenance of his son Baron were also not very good.
What is prenuptial marriage agreement?
In Europe and America, rich people make prenuptial marriage agreements before marriage so that they do not have to pay much money in case of divorce. The divorced wife could not stake claim to his share of the property. These agreements are negotiated by both the parties before marriage to protect their financial interests.
This agreement outlines how property, debts, and assets will be managed for your spouse in the event of divorce or death.
– A prenup explains which property will be considered separate property. Which will be classified as marital property.
– The agreement sets out how debts incurred before and during the marriage will be handled, protecting one spouse from being liable for the other’s debts.
– A prenup can explain in detail how much and under what conditions one spouse can receive financial support from the other after divorce.
