The Fate of the McCourts to be Decided Soon
The fate of the Dodgers will be decided in 11 days or less when the McCourts should finally come to a settlement. Frank and Jamie have 11 days to consider the final proposal to settle their divorce; Frank has already accepted the proposal but Jamie turned it down on Tuesday.
At this time the couple is waiting for a ruling from the Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Scott Gordon on whether their marital agreement is valid and would provide Frank with complete ownership of the Dodgers.
However, Jamie has asked the judge to throw the agreement out which could leave the question of ownership in the air for the next several years. He has until January 18 to make a ruling on their case.
Peter Lichtman, a Los Angeles Superior Court Judge, has been working with the couple as a mediator for two months. He recently declared, however, that they were at an impasse and ordered both sides to not discuss the particulars of their settlement proposal right now.
