Matrimony and family lawyer Nancy Chemtob, a partner at Chemtob Moss Forman & Beyda, indicated that under Massachusetts's "50/50 marital law," Kerrigan could potentially receive up to half of Byron's estimated wealth.
The report further adds that the couple has two children, which means an increased child support cost and therapy related expenses. Family lawyer Nancy Chemtob told the New York Post that the emotional toll on the children may factor into the settlement. 'The worst thing in this case is the embarrassment factor for their kids,' she said, noting that therapy and separate housing costs could be substantial.

Kristin Cabot Leaves Husband Shocked During His Japan Work Trip With 'Kiss Cam' Row
Last Updated: Privateer Rum CEO Andrew Cabot's wife, Kristin, was seen with Astronomer CEO Andy Byron at a Coldplay concert in Boston. The viral video led to both resigning from their positions. Privateer Rum CEO Andrew Cabot's wife, Kristin, was reportedly caught in a romantic moment with Astronomer CEO Andy Byron at a Coldplay concert in Boston while Andrew was away on a business trip in Japan, sources cited by the New York Post. The video of the moment quickly went viral. 'Andrew was in Asia for a few weeks and returned on Saturday, so he was gone while all this went down," the report quoted the unnamed source as saying. Andrew and his family members were utterly shocked and caught off guard by Kristin's actions, NDTV quoted a report as saying. 'The family is now saying they have been having marriage troubles for several months and were discussing separating, which I find interesting since, as of a month ago, they were saying how in love they are," the source added. Kristin and Andrew tied the knot in 2022 after her previous divorce was finalised. Just five months before the scandal surfaced, the couple had invested in a $2.2 million mansion in Rye, New Hampshire, indicating a seemingly stable relationship. Andrew hails from the esteemed Cabot family, a prominent member of America's upper crust, famously known as the 'Boston Brahmins'. This elite class was dubbed by Oliver Wendell Holmes in his 1861 novel Elsie Venner, likening Boston's high-society families to 'the Brahmin Caste of New England'. Brahmins are the highest priestly caste in India, and Holmes borrowed the term to describe Boston's upper-class, Anglo-Saxon Protestant families, which has stuck since then, NDTV reported. The Viral Video At Coldplay's Boston concert, the camera caught Byron snuggling up behind Cabot at Gillette Stadium, and the moment was broadcast on the Jumbotron. The unexpected exposure sent both into panic mode – Byron ducked down, trying to hide, while Cabot attempted to conceal her face.

In the wake of the controversy, Byron stepped down first, and later, Kristin also resigned from her position on Thursday. view comments First Published: July 25, 2025, 23:35 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

This revelation comes just five months after the couple purchased a $2.2 million home in Rye, New Hampshire.

This scandal, blending personal betrayal, corporate fallout, and social media virality, serves as a modern cautionary tale about privacy, perception, and the consequences of public behavior in the digital age.
