Quote: “It is a dangerous game for Christine Baumgartner to challenge the premarital agreement because she will be responsible for Kevin’s attorney fees if she loses. If Kevin prevails and is awarded attorney fees, it could offset the million dollars she gets under the prenup— potentially leaving her with nothing.”
