Amber Heard could get $20million in a divorce settlement with
Johnny Depp after just 15 months of marriage, legal experts claim.
The news comes after she was spotted laughing and joking with her lawyer as she stepped out of court on Saturday where she filed for divorce.
She was photographed with a faint bruise on her face after claiming that Depp domestically abused her, allegedly throwing an iPhone at her after a row apparently over his dying mother.
Heard went public after Depp's lawyers rejected her claims for $50,000 a month in support, $125,000 for her legal fees, their LA penthouse, his Range Rover and custody of their Yorkshire terriers.
But the couple do not have a prenup so under California law, she is guaranteed at least one half of however much their combined wealth has increased since they were married.
During that time, Depp was paid $61million for his role in Alice Through The Looking Glass and a further $40million for starring in Black Mass.
Manhattan-based divorce lawyer Suzanne Bracker told
Page Six that Heard should get at least $20million, although explained that income during their marriage would be calculated minus expenses.
Heard earned $383,000 during the period and cleared $51,000 after expenses, which included nearly $19,000 in business meals.
The row which allegedly ended with Depp throwing an iPhone at Heard started because his children Lily Rose, 17, and Jack, 14 didn't want her at his dying mother, Betty Sue Palmer's bedside, a source claims.
A source told
Andy Hall: 'Jack and Lily-Rose were certain they didn't want her at Betty Sue's deathbed — and that caused huge friction.
'Johnny told Amber but says she acted ''like a petulant child''. That's when things turned nasty and a huge row erupted.'
