Jessica Simpson vs. Nick Lachey — TMZ reports that the divorce is becoming bitter over money and he sure looks bigger than he used to….
Sources say that lawyers for Nick and Jessica have been trying to hammer out a settlement, but it is falling apart.
Jessica has offered significantly less than half of what Nick would be entitled to under California law.
Ironically, it was Nick who wanted a pre-nup, which would have separated their property. Traditional Simpson admits the idea of a pre-nup was “too worldly” for her from a 2004 article in which she said “If anything were to happen to me and Nick, I’ve had a great life with him and he would deserve half of everything I have.”
Well, actions speak louder than words and our sources says she’s offered a lot less. They are miles apart on the financial settlement and the buzz is it’s not any greediness on Nick’s part. Sources say he will definitely not ask for spousal support, even though he probably could get it.
No Pre-Nup for Jessica & Nick
Reality TV newlywed Jessica Simpson refused to sign a pre-nuptial agreement with pop star husband Nick Lachey - because she’d happily give him half of everything if their marriage doesn’t work out. Traditional Simpson admits the idea of a pre-nup was “too worldly” for her and so she refused to even consider sitting down with the former 98 Degrees star and signing her life away. She says, “If anything were to happen to me and Nick, I’ve had a great life with him and he would deserve half of everything I have. I don’t even look at life where there’s an end and I don’t want to look at my marriage that way either.”
