Andy Byron’s wife, Megan Kerrigan, reportedly filed for a divorce. While she didn’t show any bitterness or make any rash public statements towards him, claims were made that Andy Byron would be stripped of his wealth due to his involvement with another woman.

In simple words, a wife gets half of her husband’s wealth if she files for divorce. According to the marital law of the land, couples who have been married for over seven years must split all assets they have acquired together. Coming back to Andy Byron and Megan’s divorce, the latter could take away her husband’s half of the millions, which can be around USD 20 million to USD 70 million, as per marital lawyer, Nancy Chemtob.
The lawyer further added that Byron and his wife have been married for a long time. However, the lawyer added that more than the couple, it would be their kids who would face the most consequences due to the embarrassment factor. She was quoted as saying:
“It’s obviously a long-term relationship. I think the worst thing in this case is the embarrassment factor for the kids. The problem here is that now, the kids are embarrassed, the families are embarrassed, and there’s going to be a lot of expenses with regard to therapy for the children, getting separate homes, things like that.”
