While a prenup may cover money issues, it won’t solidify who would raise America’s newest royals.
Steven Goldfeder, co-chair of Blank Rome’s matrimonial- and family-law practice group, said prenups can’t really decide custody or support beforehand: “Unfortunately, nobody knows what type of parents either one of these people are going to be. They’re both single, they’ve never had children. Really, you’re not allowed in your prenuptial agreement to contract as to who’s going to get custody, what kind of visitation or access each party is going to have.” That has to be decided in the “interests of the children” if and when a split happens, not when they’re hypotheticals. If Swift decided to freeze her eggs or they chose to freeze embryos, that would come up at the facility, Goldfeder said. “They make you sign a contract,” he said. “At the time you sign, they’re saying you have to tell them: what is going to happen, what you want to happen with the eggs in the event that you get divorced; in the event you’re not together, does one party get them over the other, should the eggs be destroyed?” Goldfeder said he has seen this in prenuptial agreements but “it’s rare.”
