Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady have apparently experienced marital tension, according to Page Six. This issue may stem from Brady’s decision to unretire from the NFL and take an 11-day sabbatical in August.
Moss suggests the couple signed a prenuptial agreement which will likely prevent any need for alimony payments but may need to address other financial matters that could potentially be “significant.”

A recent court case involved him representing a professional football player against an excessive restitution order from the court for failing to file tax returns, which was due to an apparent waiver in their plea agreement that prevented such claims against them. Eventually, the court sided in favour of defense by upholding it as part of their plea agreement waiver clause that prevented this claim against their client.
Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady appear to be nearing an end to their 13-year marriage, as both parties have retained divorce lawyers, according to sources at Page Six exclusively. According to our source, arguments over Brady’s decision to return from retirement and living separately have become the focus of discussion between them; their two children together are 12-year-old Benjamin and 9-year-old Vivian are living separately with both sets of parents.

Prenuptial Agreements
Before getting married, it is wise to discuss “what happens if we divorce?” issues. With Gisele Bundchen worth an estimated $400 million and Tom Brady having amassed an estimated net-worth of $250 million, these two would likely draft a comprehensive prenup that outlines how their wealth will be split.
A NYC attorney noted that while their pact remains confidential, it’s safe to assume it outlines how their assets would be distributed if the pair decided to part ways. She notes that hiring divorce lawyers almost immediately following announcement indicates their desire to protect both themselves and their assets.
While Moss and NFL star Matt Ryan share two children together, Moss also has one from a previous relationship with Bridget Moynahan and noted that any agreement may include provisions regarding access and custody for his son.
Even if rumors of a prenup are true, New York City lawyer said that doesn’t guarantee them an easy legal path when they divorce. Most states adhere to equitable distribution laws which deem all assets earned during marriage fair game for division in case of separation – however this usually doesn’t lead to drawn-out legal battles.
Child Support
Divorce or legal separation cases involving children make it essential to determine how their financial needs will be met. While state laws vary on this topic, courts usually establish payments using an income-based formula which takes into account both basic child support obligation as well as any mandatory costs like health care expenses or childcare for one parent who works.
Courts also take into account other factors, including whether or not the non-custodial parent has other children and how much child support each one of these receives. They usually order this support until either their 18th birthday or graduation from high school whichever comes first, whichever comes first.
Before a child support hearing, the custodial parent must submit a financial disclosure statement and copies of tax returns to the court. Both parents must bring any relevant documents they feel might help the case before attending court hearings; in most instances the judge may only permit sharing confidential or private information between themselves or with their attorneys.
Child support payments may be combined with any money in their bank accounts, though receiving parties must ensure their money is used according to guidelines and report any discrepancies to payor. If there is an unexpected change in either parent’s income, either parent may petition the court for modification.
