Messy McCourt Divorce Involves Los Angeles Dodgers
The Los Angeles Dodgers may be out of the playoffs but all of Los Angeles is still following the team, or rather, the drama surrounding the team's owners. Frank and Jamie McCourt announced that they are getting divorced recently and it's gotten ugly quickly. Jamie McCourt was fired from her position as the team's chief executive this week. Her name is already off the team website and Frank McCourt has said that his wife failed to follow procedures and acted inappropriately with a subordinate. Radar Online says that the pair, who were college sweethearts and have been married for more than 20 years, did not have a prenuptial agreement. California is a community property state and that property may include ownership of the Dodgers. Frank McCourt has claimed that he is the sole owner of the Dodgers but Jamie McCourt considers herself a co-owner. The LA Times has reported that she is believed to have been contacting investors and prominent baseball figures to try and determine the future of the team. Some have questioned whether or not the public would accept Jamie McCourt as a solo owner.
The pair has more than just the team at stake. They also own a large amount of Los Angeles property including two homes in Holmbly Hills and two homes in Malibu including the the John Launter-designed Segel Residence which they bought for $27,250,272 from actors Courteney Cox and David Arquette.
UPDATE: Jamie McCourt's divorce filing states that she wants the same perks that she enjoyed during her marriage including private jet travel, luxury suites at five-star hotels and her usual access to stylists, spas and other personal care. She's asking for an astounding $321,000 a month in spousal support if reinstated to her former position as the head of the Dodgers, if not she wants nearly $488,000 per month.
