LA Dodgers Dealing with Divorce

High net worth divorces can be especially messy. For Frank and Jamie McCourt, many wait to see what detriment their divorce will have on their baby of six years, The Los Angeles Dodgers.
The McCourts were teenage lovebirds, married for thirty years; they flourished as partners in real estate and purchased the Dodgers together in 2004. Nevertheless, the marriage dissolved in 2008. In the midst of this bitter divorce, an outstanding question awaiting resolution is whether the Dodgers will go with Mommy McCourt or with Daddy.
The McCourt divorce demonstrates, on a larger scale and from a more public sphere, what occurs in any family dealing with divorce and the difficulties that may arise with equitable distribution. The fate of the ownership of the team now rests in the hands of the Court system.
