Partner and Family Law co-chair Judith Poller spoke
to Vanity Fair about a unique prenuptial
agreement challenge. Nicole Young and Andre Young, the artist and
music mogul known as Dr. Dre, have been separated for some time.
The former has filed for divorce and claims the prenuptial
agreement she was pressured to sign is null and void. However, it
appears the agreement was never formally dissolved.
As Vanity Fair notes,
Judith Poller, who is also not
involved in this case but has worked on high-caliber divorces often
in part in California, said, "There've been very few
instances where [prenups are] overturned, and the fact that
somebody might say during the marriage, when in their happiest
moment, 'I'm sorry I made you go through this process, and
I'm gonna rip it up,' means absolutely nothing."
[...] "It's like the dog ate my homework. It just
doesn't work," Poller added.
The terms of the marriage dissolution are still under
negotiation. It appears both parties are amenable to spousal
support payments. However, the amount of debt is still in
question.
