Do lesbians Need a Prenup? Jane Lynch is Maybe Thinking so This Week

Do lesbians need a prenup? A question I never expected to ask this sunny morning. However, Jane Lynch maybe thinking so this week, after her divorce was finalized on Monday.

A year after the divorce proceedings between Jane Lynch and her estranged wife (Dr. Lara Embry) slightly sour, their union is now officially dissolved. But is come at a price.

According to TMZ reports, Lynch will need to pay a lump sum of $1.2 million spread out over two years to her former wife.

Dr. Embry will also get fifty percent of the funds in a number of bank accounts, including a 401(k); fifty percent of Lynch’s TV royalties; fifty percent of their $56,810 tax refund; their yacht club membership; and the family dog.

Embry, a psychologist, had initially asked for spousal support to the tune of $94,000 a month, claiming that during her three-year marriage to Lynch she had grown accustomed to spending nearly $6,500 per month on clothes, $12,000 per month on entertainment and vacations, and $4,500 per month on dining out. WOW!

The divorce was finalized on Monday.
