    An agreement can be changed to keep marital property out of the hands of creditors.

    Given the specific circumstances, that sounds like conspiracy to evade justice. This dude just can’t stop criming!

    Donald Trump’s looming legal troubles may have prompted the former president and his wife Melania Trump to once again revisit their prenuptial agreement in an effort to protect his financial assets ahead of impending and likely contentious litigation.

    Trump currently faces four criminal indictments, including two federal indictments, as well as a civil action in Manhattan, in which a judge this week ordered the Trump Organization’s New York corporate charters be revoked.

    “People are speculating that Trump may be losing a lot of money in this New York suit,” Harriet Newman Cohen, a high-profile divorce attorney, told Insider. “Not to mention the millions of dollars he’s spending on attorneys in suits all over the country.”

      If you recall during the bill and melinda gates devorce, there was some speculation that it may have been a maneuver to protect assets. (lets say she gets half of everything… then if he gets sued, the lawsuit can only go after the half he kept.)

      maybe this is a similar kind of thing. Personally, I suspect their relationship is transactional. That is to say, as long as he can still be her sugar daddy… she’s going to stick around.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    “People are speculating that Trump may be losing a lot of money in this New York suit,” Harriet Newman Cohen, a high-profile divorce attorney, told Insider.

    “I am certain that post nuptial agreements have already been signed or are in the works,” said Cohen, who is not privy to specific details of the Trumps’ prenup.

    Renegotiating prenups is common practice among high-profile partners, even those who aren’t headed toward divorce, attorneys told Insider.

    “There is talk of wanting to make sure she and her son are stable and secure with all these lawsuits and judgements,” he added.

    Bill Beslow, a high-powered New York City divorce lawyer who represented Marla Maples in her 1999 split from Trump, told Insider that nefarious motivations can come into play in prenup renegotiations.

    Such provisions could include a requirement that Melania Trump campaign alongside her husband or live in the White House should he win again.

    So, what will happen if they split their wealth, then Trump loses his half, and goes to prison? I don’t care, do you?
