If the rumors turn out to be true, Melania could receive a settlement of $50 million, Berkman Bottger Newman & Rodd's managing partner Jacqueline Newman said in an interview.

'Melania would get primary custodial rights after divorce'
"It does not seem as if there's going to be much question as to who the primary caretaker is. My guess is that she (Melania) would get primary custodial rights and he (Trump) would get access whenever he happens to be in town," Newman added.

Melania is counting every minute, claims former White House aide
The speculations around Trumps parting ways got triggered when a former White House aide claimed that Melania is eager to divorce the President. "Melania is counting every minute until he is out of office and she can divorce," Omarosa Manigault Newman has reportedly said. "If Melania were to leave while he is in office, he would find a way to punish her," she noted.
History
