This is especially true for those seeking to protect assets and property from being divided during the process.

Together Williams and her husband built an empire together. It is estimated that together their net worth is nearly $60 million. With he talk show, books and endorsements, it is estimated that Wendy takes home around $15 million a year.

While these funds will likely be gained after the divorce is finalized, because these contracts were entered into during marriage, these could be viewed at as community property. This could make the divorce process messy and complicated because if there is no marital document that details how these assets will be treated in the event of a divorce, they will likely be divided equally.
