Attorneys Weigh In on What’s at Stake if Tom and Gisele Actually Get Divorced

Power couples’ divorces can be get extremely complicated.

So what will take place if Tom and Gisele actually go through with their divorce plans? Attorney Sue Moss with Chemtob Moss Forman & Beyda LLP, who is not connected to the couple, told People that Bündchen and Brady’s different incomes could make their divorce complicated.

Via People.com:

“The big challenge for him is everything will be determined at the height of his income, because to get him to come back, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers had to come up with a lot of cash — and that is the baseline for determining the support in this case,” Moss said. “At the beginning, Gisele was earning more than him, and he kept on winning and his income got more and more substantial and it outgrew hers. And because of the timing, the case will be determined based upon the height of earnings.”

Divorce attorney Jacqueline Newman of Berkman Bottger Newman & Schein LLP also speculated to People that Brady and Bündchen signed a prenuptial agreement because of their high net worths.

“People of this magnitude of wealth don’t generally get married without a document that’s going to dictate what’s going to happen if it doesn’t run its course,” Newman said. “My guess is that a lot of this is already worked out. So, there’s probably a prenuptial agreement that’s going to dictate a lot of this, but if there are some properties that were purchased while they were married — marital residences — there may be fights about that.” Newman continued, “There probably were assets that were acquired during the marriage, so there may be squabbles about that to say the least. That said, I think they are going to settle this, assuming they go forward with it — outside of the press.”

At the time they hired divorce lawyers, Brady and Bündchen owned at least four Properties.

• House at the Yellowstone Resort in Montana
• $3.5 million apartment in New York City
• Home in Costa Rica
• $17 million mansion tin Miami’s Indian Creek Island

While Brady and Bündchen’s finances are complicated, Newman speculated at the time that custody of their children could be more of a problem if they pull the trigger on their divorce.

“It really does seem that [Bündchen] has dedicated her life to these children,” Newman said. “I’m sure he is dedicated to the children, but he travels a lot. He’s not involved as much in the day to day. She may want more stability for them.” Newman continued, “The worst thing they could do is pull their kids through a custody battle.”

This is going to be a real circus, hopefully Tom and  Gisele put the kids first.
