Bettina and Christian Wulff: Separation after 19 turbulent years!

Bettina and Christian Wulff: Separation after 19 turbulent years!

Christian Wulff and Bettina Wulff have finally separated, which has now been officially confirmed by the former Federal President's office. The two, who had been separated three times in the past and have come back together, will no longer dare to take any comeback. Christian Wulff is 65 years old, while Bettina Wulff is 51 years old. Her marriage began in 2008 when Christian Wulff was Prime Minister of Lower Saxony.

Two months ago, the Wulffs jointly participated in a funeral service for the late Federal President Horst Köhler, which now makes the sudden separation appear in a different light. The exact circumstances of the separation are unclear. Christian Wulff's office was commented on and emphasized that "privately private" (brisant.de) .

Financial stumbling blocks

With the final separation, the Wulffs face a possibly costly divorce. Bettina Wulff was recently spotted with a new partner and attended a law firm for family and inheritance law. Without a marriage contract, Bettina Wulff could only receive a minimal financial compensation for the divorce. Experts fear that she could "get almost nothing". Christian Wulff, who receives an honorary gold of 214,000 euros gross, could be entitled to Bettina a maximum of half of it, minus her own income. It is also unclear who is entered in the land register of the common house, which could influence the claim to the house or the sales proceeds (Ohmymag.de) .

The exertion of a divorce could also bring high legal and court costs, which can quickly amount to five-digit amounts. It remains to be seen how the situation between the two will continue to develop, but the final separation now seems inevitable.
