What does the future hold in store for Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver?
The impending divorce between Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver continues to attract attention, and it is difficult not to be fascinated by it. Arnold and Maria came as close as America can get to royalty. He was a self-made, hugely successful star in sports, entertainment, business, and politics. She was a Kennedy and the most popular First Lady of California ever.
Reports suggest that Arnold has made a deal to publish his memoir with Simon & Schuster in October 2012. It is likely to be a huge bestseller and make plenty of money for Arnold. It remains a matter of conjecture on what new aspects and details will Arnold reveal about his life that is not already known.
Schwarzenegger appears to have moved on after the scandalous divorce announcement. He has been busy making celebrity appearances, working on his forthcoming memoir, and making plans to produce new feature films (hopefully they are better than Terminator 3). Shriver, on the other hand, appears to be in a more difficult position. She has been through the death of both her parents within a year. She has been frank enough to say she does not know what the future holds in store for her. She is rich; there are people on this planet, and in this country, far worse off.
Shriver will be reportedly worth a hundred million dollars and Schwarzenegger four hundred million after the divorce. However, the real difficult part has emerged with the recognition of a half-sibling. Questions remain whether Schwarzenegger provided for the child under a confidential support agreement, or used community funds from his marriage, or what the source of funds was that Schwarzenegger used to buy a home for the child and her mother.
For the sake of the children, Schwarzenegger and Shriver need to avoid a prolonged divorce settlement and maintain privacy. Confidential judicial arbitration or private mediation may be the best way to approach the situation, and it appears from all accounts that the couple may be already following this approach. Schwarzenegger has had to put his movie projects on hold because of this, certainly costing him millions of dollars.
