She’ll Have Her Day in McCourt
November 6, 2009
Last month Frank and Jamie McCourt announced their separation, ending a 30-year marriage. The couple purchased the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2004 with Frank listed as owner and Chairman with Major League Baseball. Jamie was appointed Chief Executive Officer. Approximately one week after the separation announcement, Jamie McCourt was fired from her position under allegations she was recruiting investors to buy out her husband and gain control of the team as well as having an affair with a subordinate. Jamie filed suit seeking reinstatement of her position, and on November 5th a Supreme Court Commissioner ruled against her claim. Jamie states she is entitled to half of the Dodgers under the State of California’s guidelines to divide community property 50-50 in divorce cases. However, several years ago she signed a legal document dividing the family assets that lists “all assets of the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team” as belonging solely to Frank. Jamie claims she was unaware of the clause and seeks its nullification—all this will be decided at a later date. click here for limerick
