Both Vanessa and Donald Trump Jr. have said that there is no acrimony in their divorce, yet Vanessa Trump has not hired a divorce lawyer or a family law attorney, but rather a criminal defense attorney to manage her needs throughout the divorce proceedings. Vanessa Trump’s hiring of a high-profile criminal defense attorney coincides with special counsel Robert Mueller subpoenaing records from the Trump family business, of which Vanessa Trump’s husband, Donald Trump Jr. is the head.
People Are Asking Why Vanessa Trump Has Hired A Criminal Defense Attorney For A Divorce
Vanessa Trump has hired White Plains, NY-based lawyer David Feureisen , who filed the intent to divorce paperwork on behalf of Vanessa Trump in Manhattan Supreme Court late yesterday, says PageSix .
Vanessa Trump and Donald Trump Jr. issued a joint statement suggesting that they are on the same page.
“After 12 years of marriage, we have decided to go our separate ways. We will always have tremendous respect for each other and our families. We have five beautiful children together and they remain our top priority. We ask for your privacy during this time.”
But if both parties are in agreement, and there is a prenuptial agreement, a criminal defense lawyer seems like an odd choice to some.
Manhattan family law expert Bonnie Rabin finds it puzzling that Vanessa Trump hired a criminal defense attorney.
“It’s a curious choice if it’s an amicable separation. If it’s an amicable situation, you wouldn’t be highlighting the criminal aspect.”
