Jessica Simpson Makes Nick Lachey An Offer He Can Refuse (Celebrity Secrets)
Friday, June 02, 2006
Jessica Simpson, presuming that Nick Lachey would dislike a public legal battle, is offering a paltry $1.5 million as settlement.
The Associated Press reports that in 2004 alone, Simpson earned $30 million.
Under California law, Lachey is entitled to half of what the couple earned during their marriage.
According to TMZ, Joe Simpson has called Lachey, to urge him to take the settlement so the two can "end as friends."
Sources say Lachey "absolutely will not ask for spousal support," even though legally he has a right to press that claim. He also will not accept a settlement that in no way approaches what he would be legally entitled to under the law reports TMZ.
