Judge Rules Jamie McCourt Co-owner of the Dodgers

Today a Los Angeles Superior Court judge ruled in favor of Jamie McCourt, invalidating a disputed 2004 marital agreement that would have made Frank McCourt the sole owner of the Dodgers. 

While the ruling by Judge Scott Gordon is not expected to affect the day-to-day operations of the Dodgers, the legal process could continue for some time, the Los Angeles Times reported on Tuesday.

The marital agreement was  signed in March 2004, months after the purchase of the Dodgers was finalized.

"The court finds that the marital property agreement is not a valid and enforceable agreement," Gordon wrote in his ruling. "The court orders that the marital property agreement is set aside."

The decision means ownership of the Dodgers could be shared under California's community property law, Mark Fabiani, a spokesman for Jamie McCourt, told The Associated Press.

Marc Seltzer, a lawyer for Frank McCourt, said the ruling did not mean that the McCourts are co-owners of the Dodgers.Hollywood Collectibles is offering 10% off all baseball memorabilia for a limited time.  To save just enter “wooeb” in the coupon box.  All sports memorabilia comes with a certificate of authenticity from Hollywood Collectibles.  Hollywood Collectibles is a sports and celebrity memorabilia store that sells autographed photos, game used pieces, vintage items, and many more.
