Nicole Kidman-Keith Urban Divorce: Are “Sobriety Clause” Prenups Enforceable in New Jersey?

TLDR: Prenup Sobriety Clauses


Nicole Kidman’s divorce from Keith Urban has renewed interest in their prenuptial agreement and its rumored “sobriety clause,” which allegedly ties Urban’s financial settlement to his sobriety from cocaine, alcohol and other drugs. Would such a clause stand in New Jersey? Likely not. New Jersey courts generally reject prenup terms that regulate personal behavior, morality, or custody, viewing them as unenforceable. To remain valid and enforceable under New Jersey law, a prenup should focus on financial issues only, including assets, debts, and alimony.

For confidential legal guidance on your prenup, Request A Consultation Today.

Nicole Kidman filed for divorce from Keith Urban after nearly two decades of marriage, and now attention is once again turning to a “sobriety clause” in their long-rumored prenuptial agreement.

According to multiple reports, the couple’s prenup includes a clause that ties Keith Urban’s post-divorce financial support to his sobriety. Specifically, in the divorce settlement, Urban allegedly receives around $600,000 for each year of marriage in which he remained sober from cocaine and alcohol.

While neither Kidman nor Urban has ever confirmed the existence of these terms, their prenup still raises an intriguing legal question: if their divorce were happening in New Jersey, would a “sobriety clause” in a couple’s prenup still hold up in court? Read more
