Question

#1 Before their marriage, Linda and Gerald Heiden executed a prenuptial agreement. The agreement provided that “no spouse shall have any right in the property of the other spouse, even in the event of the death of either party.” The description of Gerald’s separate property included a settlement from a personal injury suit. Twenty-four years later, Linda filed for divorce. The court ruled that the prenuptial agreement applied only in the event of death, not divorce, and entered a judgment that included a property division and spousal support award. The ruling disparately favored Linda, whose monthly income with spousal support would be $4,467, leaving Gerald with only $1,116. Did the court interpret the Heidens’ prenuptial agreement correctly? #1 Before their marriage, Linda and Gerald Heiden executed a prenuptial agreement.

Explanation / Answer

No, the court did not interpret the Heidens’ prenuptial agreement correctly. As in the agreement it was mentioned that no spouse will have any claim over the property of another one even in case of death of any one of them. this also includes that if they decide to divorce, even then no claim over the property can be made by either of the individuals.
