Quote: “The main reason for a premarital agreement is to avoid having a shared community estate. When you have two spouses, each with their own careers, savings or success, they may want to say, ‘Let’s keep everything separate, other than maybe a shared home,’ ” said Los Angeles-based top family law attorney and legal analyst Christopher Melcher, who handles celebrity and high-net- worth divorces in California.

“it’s possible” Loughlin walks away with nothing. “But when someone’s getting nothing, they have nothing to lose”  explains Melcher, who is a partner of Walzer Melcher Yoda LLP, which is ranked as a high-net- worth top family law firm
