WASHINGTON: Pop icon Britney Spears won’t be required to pay anything to her former husband Sam Asghari, according to their prenuptial agreement.
But according to our sources, there is a significant reason why she might feel obligated to send him a sizeable cheque.
TMZ is informed by sources with first-hand knowledge of the prenup. If Sam gets divorced, he is not compensated. Furthermore, the prenup bars him from receiving spousal support. Only his automobiles and the trinkets Britney gave him are his to keep.
According to TMZ sources, the prenup contains a extensive confidentiality clause that forbids Sam from discussing his marriage to Britney.
On the surface, it may appear like Sam is receiving nothing of note, but that is not the case.
Neal Hersh, Sam’s attorney, filed divorce papers that include a spousal support request. Hersh’s action indicates a challenge to the prenup because it forbids such support. Other aspects of the divorce file, such as the discussion of community and quasi-community property, seem to indicate a challenge.
According to the argument, the confidentiality clause is unenforceable if the prenuptial agreement is successfully contested. Britney will pay attention if even the prospect of it exists.
TMZ is told by many sources that, Sam has a tonne of first-hand knowledge about Britney, their relationship, their fights, her struggles, etc., and if there’s even a remote chance that any of that information might become public, Britney will gladly pay Sam for peace of mind.
According to TMZ insiders, after negotiations between Britney and Sam’s lawyers, she will ultimately write him a cheque for several hundred thousand dollars, and that will be the end of it. A secrecy condition that demands Sam to refund any money he receives if he violates the NDA is a part of that settlement. (ANI)
