| Alex Rodgriguez: How much will he pay? |
A-Rod's wife filed her divorce petition in Florida for a reason. In New York, as long as Alex has a pre-marital agreement, his wife will only be entitled to enforce the terms of the agreement. Since Alex got married after he signed his first mega contract, it is safe to assume that he has a valid
pre-nuptial agreement. All the hype about the divorce filed is good media. Nobody will benefit financially and the only losers are the children who will have to read or hear about their father's conduct. Clearly, Alex's wife will get physical custody of the children, as he is playing baseball all over the country for almost the entire year. Instead of trying to embarrass her husband and their children, she would have been better off having a private settlement with Alex and keeping this case out of the press. Nobody will win, and the public settlement will probably have been the very similar to the one that could have been done privately. But then the lawyers would not get the publicity they may be seeking.

| Pre-Nup Agreements: Should I Get One? |
| A question that I am sometimes asked is:
Can I enter into a prenuptial agreement after I get married? The answer is yes, you can. These agreements are known as
postnuptial agreements, antenuptial agreements or postmarital agreements.
Common Uses of Postnuptial Agreements
People enter into postnuptial agreements more often than you might think. For instance, if one spouse is about to enter a business, their partners may require them to sign a postnuptial agreement. As a precondition to entering the partnership, a person may be required to enter into a postnuptial agreement stating that if they separate or pass away, their spouse will not make a claim on the business. This will allow the partners to be assured that a separation or death does not interfere with the running of their business. This requirement is particularly common in family businesses and in the financial community.
