Lorna Jorgenson Wendt and former husband Gray Wendt were, of course, the couple engaged in the highly public disagreement over dividing their assets after divorcing in 1997. A judge ultimately gave her
$ 20 million, a sum she still views as far below her contribution as a "non-economic partner." Gray, now head of Conseco, the Indiana financial services firm, doesn’t buy that argument.
But the ugly mess could have been avoided. Jorgenson Wendt now wishes she had known about marital and financial planning: the postnup(婚后财产协议).
The better-known prenup(婚前财产协议)defines, before the marriage, how finances are to be divided if the couple splits.
Postnups, agreements signed during marriage that divide assets if the couple were to divorce, give another option. In some instances couples are using them essentially to update their prenups. Many prenups have sunset clauses: they automatically cease after a predetermined period of time. If it is not updated, a high-net-worth individual could become exposed to a loss in the event of a divorce.
Most commonly, couples with substantial assets or children from previous marriages consider postnups for protection.
Getting a postnup is relatively easy and begins with each spouse hiring a lawyer. Choose a good one. Michael Minton, a Chicago divorce lawyer who says he represented Michael Jordan’s wife in a postnup, says creative attempts to avoid fairness abound. He’s seen unfair and possibly illegal agreements that say if the couple gets divorced because of one spouse is unfaithful, the unfaithful one gets nothing and gives up the right to alimony(生活费).
Because of the risk of one spouse taking advantages of the other, some state courts examine postnups more carefully than premarriage agreements, says Arlene G. Dubin, a New York City divorce lawyer.
And because marriage contracts are governed by state law, postnups should be revised if you move to another state. Such agreements are signed in fewer than 5% of first marriages and 20% of second marriages, so courts in some states are still figuring out exactly how to deal with them. The Uniform Premarital Agreement Act of 1983, which governs prenups, generally does not apply to postnups.
Most states, however, simply accept the postnup as a private contract between two adults. But for couples thinking at all about a written financial agreement, the more popular prenup is still a better bet. The law is clearer. And there is a deadline.
Which of the following best sums up this passage?
选项
A、Lorna strongly believes in postnup.
B、Postnup, along with prenup, is an effective way of splitting assets in divorces.
C、Different states have different postnups.
D、People prefer prenups to postnups.
答案
B
解析
从全文可以看出,文章的主旨不在于分析Lorna的个例,而在于介绍prenups和postnups这两种离婚后的财产分配方法,其中尤其着重介绍了postnups。
