Celebrity divorces always seem to be front and center on the front pages of tabloids or the back pages of newspapers. Three examples highlight different divorce and family law issues, and the risks and challenges involved. Let’s take a look to learn more about these cases and how they might apply to someone else’s circumstances.

First, consider the case of Nicolas Cage and his relationship with Erika Koike. The two apparently dated for a year, before getting married after a boozy night out in Las Vegas. Within four days, Cage had filed for an annulment. Meanwhile, Koike believes that an annulment doesn’t settle things and that she is entitled to spousal support.

There’s a lot of he said-she said in this case, as often happens in celebrity divorce cases. Without reading too much into it, the marriage certainly seems like a hasty decision, and there seems to be a lot of mistrust on both sides. These aren’t exactly positive factors heading into a marriage, and they certainly highlight the fact that while you’re in a relationship, if you’re planning on getting married, you may want to start broaching the subject of a prenuptial agreement with your partner.

Another celebrity divorce case in the news is that of Adele. With a personal wealth estimated at more than $180 million, she and her husband, Simon Konecki, are now divorcing. Married in 2011, there was also no prenup here. Adele, making a fortune from her individual and very rare acting talents, may find a way to defend her wealth against Konecki’s claims in ways that other types of earnings are not eligible for.

Still, there’s a 9-figure fortune at stake, along with numerous estates and estates, as well as the couple’s six-year-old son. Apparently, Adele has indicated that money is not the most important issue for her here or anywhere else in her life, so it will be interesting to see if the interests of the child really come before and, if so, if the couple you can stay friendly in regards to parenting and finances.

Then consider the most expensive divorce case in history, Jeff Bezos. The Amazon founder remains the world’s richest man, with an estimated $110 billion, even after the case. His wife MacKenzie received approximately $35 billion by retaining a quarter of her Amazon stock. While this certainly seems to scream “prenuptial” to viewers, there are other issues here as well.

Consider that she was the company’s first employee and that the couple married the same year the company was founded. The two have been quite friendly, even in public, and seem satisfied with what they believe to be a fair conclusion. It is an argument in favor of sanity in the face of extreme situations and the search for viable solutions to a shared problem.

Everyone’s relationship, including how it may come to an end, is different, and celebrities are certainly no substitutes for the rest of us. However, it is quite interesting to see how these various cases play out. If you are facing a divorce personally, be sure to consult with a legal professional who is licensed in your local area before taking any action.
