Sutton Stracke’s Divorce Settlement

Sutton Stracke’s divorce settlement granted her significant financial security, including spousal and child support payments as well as several valuable assets, ensuring her stability post-divorce.

Not only has Sutton Stracke, who starred on *The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills*, attracted attention for her dramatic on-screen moments, but she also received a sizable divorce settlement from her ex-husband Christian Stracke. After their divorce was finalised in 2018, fans and the media have spoken about it a lot.

Sutton and Christian married in May 2000 and have three children together. Their relationship ended in 2016, with Christian filing for divorce on September 22—just two days after Sutton’s birthday. Although they had differing views on the official separation date, the couple eventually agreed on the terms of their divorce settlement.

The Settlement Details

The settlement proved to be very generous for Sutton. Christian agreed to pay her $300,000 per month in spousal support for life, along with $50,000 per month in child support for their three children. Additionally, Sutton received a lump sum payment of $1.235 million.

Sutton was also awarded various assets, including three vehicles (a Range Rover, Cadillac, and 2015 Chevy Suburban), two homes (one in Georgia and one in Los Angeles), and a bank account with $86,000. She retained ownership of her jewelry, couture clothing, and Andy Warhol prints. Furthermore, Christian agreed to establish a $3 million trust for their children, to which he would continue to contribute over time.

Despite the favorable financial terms, Sutton has been candid about the emotional impact of her divorce. In the premiere episode of Season 13 of RHOBH, she shared how stepping away from her career to focus on raising their family led to a diminished sense of financial independence. Sutton emphasized that she would never allow herself to feel financially vulnerable again.

Sutton Stracke’s divorce settlement stands as one of the most significant in RHOBH history, illustrating both the financial and emotional challenges of ending a long-term marriage. While the settlement provided Sutton with considerable financial security, it also shed light on the complex realities of rebuilding life post-divorce.
