The move could mean that Melinda Gates wishes to change the amount that their three kids inherit.
Bill Gates has said that each will get $10 million, with the rest of the $130 billion going to charity.
Melinda Gates named trust and estate lawyers in her filing for divorce from Bill Gates, according to a new report from Page Six.
The premier divorce lawyer Robert Cohen, with the firm Cohen Clair Lens Greifer Thorpe & Rottenstreich, is representing Melinda Gates in the divorce, a firm that has also repped the likes of Michael Bloomberg and Ivana Trump, former President Donald Trump s first wife, as Page Six notes. Melinda Gates also listed the estate planning attorney Loretta Ippolito and Bruce Birenboim with the firm Paul Weiss in her filings.

When it comes to divorces among wealthy couples, privacy and asset complexity are key challenges.
Separation agreements and private mediation are ways to keep information out of the public eye.
Six divorce lawyers and experts explain how such couples can keep disputes out of the courts.
Bill and Melinda Gates announcement on Monday that they were separating shocked many.
And though the power couple s news came out of the blue, their divorce filing was likely the product of months of private negotiations in an effort to keep things under wraps, said Jennifer Brandt, the chair of Cozen O Connor s law firm, which has represented people with high net worth in divorces.

PHILADELPHIA – A diverted federal discrimination case brought by two retired National Football League players against the organization – claiming that it manipulated cognitive function data to make it less likely Black players would receive proceeds from the 2016 concussion settlement – will now be heard before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.
Kevin Henry and Najeh Davenport first filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania on Aug. 20 versus the NFL, of New York, N.Y.
Henry, who played eight years for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and Davenport, who played seven years for the Green Bay Packers, Pittsburgh Steelers and Indianapolis Colts claimed that the NFL violated federal law in handling claims under the concussion settlement, by using different sets of cognitive function data for Black and White players.
