Donald Trump divorce $20 million plus a $14 million estate , Donald J. Trump, the billionaire real-estate developer, has long attached his name to objects of his desire: Trump Tower, the Trump Shuttle, the Trump Castle Casino and, of course, Trump, the board game.

Now, add one not as pleasant: Trump v. Trump, the divorce. Though the couple's separation after 12 years was announced Sunday, the maneuverings of Mr. Trump and his estranged wife, Ivana, began in earnest yesterday -and already include all the trappings of power, money, publicity and shrewdness that helped create the empire of hotels, casinos and office towers that bear the Trump name.

In what may become the first great celebrity divorce case of the 1990's, the lawyer for Mrs. Trump issued a statement calling the couple's prenuptial agreement ''unconscionable and fraudulent.''

The remark provoked a day of bitter comments and a flurry of facsimile messages between teams of spokesmen and lawyers being assembled by the pair.

From an unnamed spokesman for Mr. Trump at Howard J. Rubenstein Associates Inc., a public-relations concern that seems to represent almost everybody (as in everybody): ''The prenuptial agreement signed by Donald and Ivana Trump is a lengthy and detailed document covering all aspects and is 100 percent enforceable in courts of law.''
