A marriage can end for a variety of different reasons. Regardless of the cause, the decision to seek a divorce is often the best option for families in West Virginia. However, cases involving significant assets can be complicated to settle. However, embattled Harvey Weinstein and his estranged wife Georgina Chapman reportedly agreed to the terms of their split recently.

The couple reportedly have a prenuptial agreement. Under the terms of that agreement, Chapman would receive $300,000 a year in spousal support if the marriage lasted less than 10 years. Some reports claim that if the marriage lasted more than a decade, she would receive $400,000 a year. The agreement came just before their 10-year anniversary.

According to news reports, the couple has real estate worth several million dollars, including a townhouse worth approximately $15 million and an estate listed for $12.4 million, that must be divided. The settlement, which will not be finalized until Chapman files papers, is said to be worth between $15 million and $20 million. Chapman is expected to receive primary custody of the couple’s two young children.

Every divorce is unique, regardless of the amount of assets a couple may have to divide. As a result, couples in West Virginia who are considering the next step of their lives often seek advice from knowledgeable attorneys who have experience with family law. With such help, they can ensure that they fully understand the decisions facing them and the potential implications of each. Some couples may experience contention, but many are able to peacefully make the decisions that will lead them to a quicker, less expensive conclusion.
