Nick and Jessica settle the money issue

Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey have finally cleared up the last issue remaining between them - the separation of their assets. Details of the settlement have not been publicly disclosed, but it is known that the couple had no prenup and earned a reported $36 million during their marriage. Under California law, Simpson and Lachey could have divided their assets equally, with each walking away with $18 million. However, Simpson is alleged to have offered her ex only $1.5 million, which he rejected. Sources say that under the terms of their final agreement, Lachey will receive "significantly" more than $1.5 mil, but less than $18 mil. The former couple have legally agreed not to disclose info about their financial status.
