Jamie McCourt Files For Divorce From Dodgers Owner

LOS ANGELES (AP) ― Jamie McCourt is filing for divorce from Dodgers owner Frank McCourt in Los Angeles.

A filing obtained by The Associated Press on Tuesday cites irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split. The McCourts have been married since 1979 and have four grown sons.

Frank McCourt fired his wife as the team's chief executive on Thursday, a day after the Dodgers were eliminated from the playoffs by the Philadelphia Phillies. Jamie McCourt's filing states she is seeking reinstatement with the team.

She also lists the Dodgers as a community asset that she partially owns. She is seeking $321,000 a month in spousal support if reinstated to her former position. If not, the filings state she should be paid nearly $488,000 per month.
