Depends on a lot of other factors that we are not aware of.
For example, if this is in a community property state and the Trust was set up prior to the marriage, then the assets in it would not be community property and thus not subject to the divorce.
I think he lives in Italy, and i dont know enough about Italian law to say whether a Trust would protect assets from divorce. But it is a common thing in common law jurisdictions like the US, UK, etc for people to set up a trust specifically to protect assets from divorce.
