The judge presiding over the bitter battle for the Los Angeles Dodgers has granted Jamie McCourt's request to throw out the marital property agreement that gives her ex-husband sole ownership of the team.
The decision isn't expected to affect team operations but means the Dodgers could be shared under California community property law. If the ruling stands, it is possible that the Dodgers could be sold if one of the McCourts can't buy out the interests of the other.
"The parties had mistaken belief and no agreement as to the meaning of the agreement, the content of the agreement, and the effect of the [agreement] on their property and property rights," Superior Court Judge Scott Gordon wrote in his 100-page tentative ruling.
Gordon found that the contract at the heart of the fight over the team was not valid or enforceable and that it must be set aside.
Frank McCourt's lawyer disputes that the ruling changes ownership of the Dodgers in any way.
I know that we do not have any Dodger fans in the Municipal, but this is going to mess them up for a while. Another example of needing to be kind to your domestic partner. She may not end up with the Dodgers but she could get your baseball card collection.
