Diamonds and Pearls of Wisdom

The DivorceWizards Blog, by Lynne Diamond

Brittney broke the news via text messaging

Monday, November 13, 2006

People often ask how to break the news to their spouse that they have decided to file for divorce. Tough question and the answer depends on your situation. I often suggest you tell your spouse at his best time of the day and week. Whether that be in the morning or the evening – weekday or weekend. I also suggest you take the entire blame – even though it is never one person’s fault. Take total responsibility. I never thought of suggesting a text message – IMDivorcingU! That sums it up! Both have requested sole custody in spite of the fact that joint custody is more favorable to the children.

Brittney had the benefit of the wisdom of her $1000 an hour Beverly Hills attorney in preparing an "airtight" pre-nuptial agreement. The new Mr. Spears would be extremely limited in his ability to benefit from the Brittster's fortune. Even gifts were designated as community and separate property. And his spousal support would be limited at about $150,000 per year of marriage - not bad for a bad singer anyway.

But nothing is airtight as we are finding out. Brittney's exhibitionism and ego ruined that. So Maybe she will not be sharing much money with hubby of the moment in their divorce settlement, but she will be paying him off bigtime - huge time - for not releasing those tapes. And where were those in the $1000 an hour prenup? Didn't Barbara Streisand have something in her pre-nup that didn't allow for any tapes or books to be published?

One area that are not addressed by pre-nups - because the State of CA rules this against public policy - is determinations of child custody and support. So this is where Mr. Spears will get Brittney - in the worst possible place - the children. So now they will be in the middle, big time. At least they are young and won't really understand what is going on - of course - until they get older and understand big time!
