Dixie Chicks’ Natalie Maines’ Wants Court To Rule On Validity Of Pre-Nup With Ex

Audio By Carbonatix

Dixie Chicks singer Natalie Maines is currently in a nasty divorce battle with ex-hubby Adrian Pasdar, and now she’s filed new legal papers in an attempt to get their prenuptial agreement enforced. 

The singer’s lawyers are asking the court to bifurcate the issue of the prenup’s validity, meaning they want the issue to be separated from the rest of the divorce case, which will allow certain aspects of the case to be settled. 

“If the issue of the validity of the Prenuptial Agreement was bifurcated, this would allow an early disposition of most of the dissolution issues regarding property and support,” Natalie writes in her declaration. She notes that while Pasdar is claiming the document is “invalid” and that he “did not understand the legal effect” of the agreement, or “have adequate knowledge of my property and financial obligations when he signed the Prenuptial Agreement,” she notes, “I disagree.”

Pasdar has claimed he “does not recall the events related to the drafting and negotiation of the prenuptial agreement in 2000,” and while his lawyers are okay splitting assets per the agreement, he is now seeking spousal support from the singer. In fact, he’s seeking as much $60k per month, along with attorney’s fees of $350,000.
