Janet Jackson and Wissam Al Mana: Romance Rewind

If you must know, it's important to note that the pair hasn't filed for divorce just yet. They've only formally separated at this point. 

"Oftentimes in a prenup there are triggering events, so it could be the formal separation of the parties or it could be filing a complaint for divorce, assuming the couple setup a prenuptial agreement. "This is extremely notable because this will end the term of the marriage which could trigger less money for Janet or nothing for her.

Obviously Jackson has a very successful career and income on her own, but that doesn't mean she will not get money in the divorce, especially considering the fact that Al Mana is a billionaire.

In fact, there have been reports that Jackson may get up to $200 million in the divorce "$200 million tax-free would be a huge chunk of money, but for someone that's worth $1 billion it may not be as big of impact. "When people are entering into prenuptial agreements they need to ccheck what their net worth is at the time, and  in the event of divorce, if they can be self-supporting. Janet has enough money to take care of herself, so there is definitely no alimony."

However, as you would recall, Jackson gave birth to a baby boy, Eissa Al Mana, with Al Mana in January. A source says the baby will stay with his mother, which invariable means child support will likely be on the drawer.

In this case with such high net-worth individuals, the child's lifestyle will be nothing less of royalty. "The cost associated with raising a child can be between $50,000 and $100,000 per month with nannies, 24/7 nurses, top-of-the-line clothing, food preparation, drivers and more”.

The attorney told us, "Expect to see a high price tag on the child support award, which is not taxable to each of the parties, so it is a net amount each month. Assuming Janet is the primary parent in decision-making over the child's day-to-day health welfare and education, she would receive the bulk of money on behalf of the child."

When it comes to a child or children, when one spouse is richer, He or She will have a legal responsibility as the parent. Because, presumably, Wissam will not spend as much time with the child to pay for the child's day-to-day costs, he will have to vomit out the big bucks to support his child.

The couple's separation over the weekend. A reliable source told news team, who was first to report the news, that it was an amicable split.

They are both busy people but determined to be good parents, even if they are apart. It is amicable and Eissa will stay with his mother, who is basing herself in London.
