I read for a quite a while. Didn't see any reference to the fact that they have a contractual agreement that he is the sole owner of the Dodgers and she is the sole owner of the LA real estate holdings. Also didn't see any reference to her affair with some guy in the organization. Also didn't see any reference to who might have initiated the divorce, or if grounds were mentioned.
I do feel sympathy for the people at the Dodgers organization, as they first endured one of those fake jobs made up so the bored wife can feel important, and now her spiteful attempt to take away her husband's favorite toy.

I feel sorry for the people who will be affected by this mess because of their affiliation with the team.

Reminds me of a guy I met at church last night.
He works for a cell-phone tower company.
His boss and wife spent over a year building a million dollar home in Texas. 2-weeks after they moved in she served him with divorce papers.
I knew it before he even got to that part of the story.

Funny how it seems it's almost always the strong, independent woman who snivels that the unambiguous written pre-nup or post-nup agreement she signed should not be enforced.
In this case, poor, confused, little Jamie is a LAWYER, who, according to the LA Times, practiced FAMILY LAW! Pathetic and transparent, but seemingly typical, behavior, isn't it?
Just another attempt, in essence, to try and make a man continue to pay for sex he no longer gets -- nor wants. "Vagimony" is the technical term, I believe.
And some women wonder at the lack of respect accorded them at times... .

She's a lawyer? Her lawyer is arguing that the contract isn't legit because she "didn't have benefit of counsel" when she signed it!

Lujlp,
Community property law requires an even split only of the couple's community property. They are perfectly free, by agreement before or after the marriage (supported by consideration), to characterize assets as the separate property of one or the other spouse. Separate property owned prior to the marriage (or acquired during the marriage by way of inheritance, etc.) remains the separate property of that spouse -- unless by express or implied agreement it is transmuted to community property.
