McCourt v. McCourt — Another Lose-Lose Litigation

Yet another lose-lose result in high-stakes divorce litigation.  Lawyer-Mediator Diane Mercer says she has been using the McCourt divorce as a cautionary tale in how not to get divorced — and now, in the Huffington Post, she points out how the tale has gotten even better.  In December, after the couple, Jamie and Frank McCourt, suffered a drawn-out battle over ownership of the L.A. Dodgers, a California judge invalidated the postnuptial agreement that gave the team to Frank.  Now, after $19 million in counsel fees, Major League Baseball has taken over the team’s operations with the likely result that it will be put up for sale.
