$10 million settlement possible for Amber Heard in Depp divorce
North Carolina residents might be interested in learning that Amber Heard, the actress who is separating from Johnny Depp, could stand to gain as much as $10 million from her divorce settlement. If the couple does not have a prenuptial agreement, she will be entitled to receive a big chunk of the money he made during their marriage, including a portion of the profits he earned from "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales."
Heard has filed a temporary restraining order against Depp citing domestic violence. If she decides to pursue a civil case over the charges, she may be awarded more money.
Heard is asking for $50,000 a month in spousal support. Experts state it is unlikely she will be successful in getting spousal support for very long because the marriage only lasted 15 months. If she does get spousal support, she will likely only receive it for six months to a year.
