Los Angeles Dodgers owner Frank McCourt is opposing his wife's demand to be reinstated as a team executive. He cites insubordination and an inappropriate relationship she allegedly had with her bodyguard.
The Dodgers' attorney filed papers Wednesday in Los Angeles court, one day after his wife Jamie McCourt filed divorce papers seeking to regain her job as Dodgers chief executive.
The documents filed by the team accuse Jamie McCourt of taking a trip with her bodyguard in early July to Israel on team business, but then heading to France for 2 1/2 weeks and billing the Dodgers for the trip.
Frank McCourt also accuses his wife of not giving him any information about her assignments as chief executive.
Jamie McCourt was fired.
Jamie McCourt's attorney was not immediately available for comment.
