Charlotte York’s unfortunate first marriage to Trey MacDougal is still hotly debated by sex and the city fans. While fans largely agree that Charlotte finally ended up with the right man when she married Harry Goldenblatt, not everyone is quick to excuse the divorce tag from her. While Trey and Charlotte were troubled in their marriage, their divorce settlement wasn’t exactly fair.
How long were Trey MacDougal and Charlotte York married?
Charlotte initially thought she had found her Prince Charming in Trey MacDougal. She learned pretty quickly that not everything was as good as it seemed. After a whirlwind romance and quick engagement, Charlotte found out that Trey had erectile dysfunction. The couple split just a few months after Charlotte kissed the gardener at the MacDougals’ country house.
The couple reconciled. Charlotte moved back in and renovated her house. Charlotte and Trey even considered having a baby together. They eventually divorced after it became clear that they were no longer on the same page. It’s easy for fans to assume their marriage lasted a while. not only does sex and the city avoid events and holidays that allow fans to follow a schedule, but Charlotte York and Trey MacDougal’s marriage was packed with enough drama to last a lifetime. In the end, the couple was only together for a little over a year.
What did Charlotte York get in her divorce settlement?
Charlotte approached her divorce the same way she approached her search for a partner. She had a desired outcome and was laser focused on making it happen. For Charlotte, her primary goal was to protect the Park Avenue platform from the MacDougal clan. She even changed attorneys to make sure it happened. Step by step. Charlotte got the apartment. However, the other terms of the deal are shrouded in mystery.
It was never mentioned if she also received a cash settlement when the divorce was finalized. One would have to assume that she did. Even though Trey gave her the apartment, she would still have to pay the monthly maintenance fee for the unit. Without a job, Charlotte York would have required a relatively large settlement to make it all work.
Charlotte really didn’t deserve the apartment.
Charlotte York made the Park Avenue apartment a sticking point during the divorce proceedings. In fact, the apartment was an obsession. While Trey didn’t care, her mother certainly did. All in all, Bunny MacDougal was pretty easy to hate. Still, when it came to the apartment, she was right.
After such a short marriage, Charlotte really didn’t deserve to keep the luxury estate. First, and perhaps most importantly, the Park Avenue condo belonged to Trey’s family before he and Charlotte met. She brought home to the marriage and should have gone with him too. The six classics also had a high price.
Worth millions, the value of the property far exceeded the agreement outlined in the prenuptial agreement she signed before she married Trey. In fact, she was worth much more money than Charlotte York herself claimed she was “worth” while she was negotiating with Bunny. In the end, she Charlotte did not “pay” as she said she did. Charlotte got more than she deserved and Trey walked away empty handed.
