As Nicole Kidman’s separation drama from Keith Urban unfolds, a divorce attorney has exclusively spoken to RadarOnline.com about an intriguing detail in their prenuptial agreement — the so-called “cocaine clause.”
According to reports, this “cocaine clause” stated that Urban would be eligible for $600,000 annually, but only if he abstained from drugs and alcohol during their marriage.
### A Legal Expert Dishes on the Alleged Provision in Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s Prenuptial Agreement
Lois Liberman, a partner in Blank Rome’s Matrimonial and Family Law Group, shared her insights exclusively with RadarOnline.com about this pertinent clause.
“It is more than likely that, in addition to the alleged provision which provides Keith with $600,000 per year from Nicole for every year of marriage, there would be additional clauses that specify what Keith acquired in his own name as his separate property,” Liberman explained. “For those assets that the parties held jointly, there would presumably be some distributable interest in those assets. Any drug use would not diminish his interest in those assets.”
### Keith Urban’s Separation Likely Not a Light Decision, Says Legal Expert
Liberman noted it’s “possible” that the monies Keith was to receive annually — as compensation for waiving claims to assets Nicole acquired during the marriage — could be forfeited for years in which he did not have his drug use “under control.”
She added, “Given that it has been reported that the decision to separate was Keith’s, it is likely that if there were such a huge financial penalty — whereby he would have lost $11,400,000 ($600,000 x 19 years) — that such a decision would not have been made lightly. Alternatively, he may have felt financially secure enough to proceed with the divorce regardless.”
### Possible Post-Nuptial Agreement May Have Addressed Sobriety Issues
Liberman also suggested that Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban might have created a post-nuptial agreement during their marriage to address Urban’s “initial sobriety slip.”
“This may have clarified whether he would still be entitled to such monies if he remained clean and sober throughout the rest of the marriage,” she concluded.
### Keith Urban’s Struggles and Recovery During His Marriage to Nicole Kidman
In October 2006, only a few months after marrying Kidman, Keith Urban entered rehab for drug and alcohol addiction. Reports say Kidman planned an intervention, which Urban credits as a pivotal moment in his recovery.
He has described Kidman’s support during this period as critical, saying he was “very, very blessed” to have her by his side as he worked toward sobriety.
### Separation Outed: Split Said to Be One-Sided
As RadarOnline.com reported, the couple’s separation was revealed on September 29. Sources claim the split is one-sided, with Kidman doing everything she can to save their marriage.
