Munson: The Divorce And The Dodgers
Frank and Jamie McCourt are locked in a bitter divorce-court drama that starts Monday, and the ownership of the Dodgers is the pawn in their game, writes Lester Munson. Story
That's what attorneys for Frank and Jamie McCourt will argue Monday as their non-jury divorce trial begins.
A Superior Court judge must decide the validity of a postnuptial marital agreement that gives Frank McCourt sole ownership of the baseball team.
Jamie McCourt's lawyers say the former Dodgers CEO would never give up her stake in the team and they've suggested copies of the agreement were altered to give Frank McCourt sole control of the team, as well as Dodger Stadium and the surrounding land.
The McCourts married in 1979. Frank McCourt booted his wife from the front office after the playoffs last year, accusing her of having an affair.
