Spousal Support Dispute: Hulk Hogan’s Wife Wants More Money After OJ Comments

By Denver Divorce Lawyer on April 29, 2009

According to a report, Linda Bollea, wife of former wrestler Hulk Hogan, has asked the court for thousands of dollars more in spousal support so that she can move across the country. Hogan recently gave an interview to Rolling Stone magazine where he said that he understood how O.J. Simpson could have been driven to do what he did. Simpson was acquitted of murdering his wife Nicole Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman in 1993, and like many people Hogan also believes Simpson got away with murder.

In the interview Hogan whose real name is Terry Bollea said he was enticed to assault his wife “like O.J.” which caused outrage and brought about a swift response to clarify his comments.

A representative for Hogan said, “Hulk in no way condones the O.J. situation. As part of a larger conversation, he referred to it to exemplify his frustration with his own situation.”

Linda Bollea did not find any jest in the comments and has filed court papers in Pinellas County, Florida. Bollea is claiming she feels she’s in “imminent danger of becoming a victim.” She is asking for an additional $8,200 a month from Hogan so that she can move “thousands of miles away.” She also is requesting $24,000 for “advanced rent and security deposits” in order to move from Miami to California.

Multi-Million Divorce Lawsuit Reveals All

By Denver Divorce Lawyer on April 15, 2009

An account reported that a multi-million dollar divorce lawsuit between George David, 66, a wealthy aging man, and Marie Douglas-David, 36, a tall Swedish blond, has made national headlines because the details in court papers reveal everything from accusations of affairs, imprisonment, to a $100 million lawsuit. Douglas-David has been offered $43 million to settle but she contends that is not merely enough to maintain her lifestyle. She has filed suit for $100 million dollars to fight for more spousal support.

Anne Draninis, David’s lawyer said, “She always wants more, more, more. Too much is never enough.”

In an attempt to support her claims, Douglas-David presented the court with documentation that showed the minimum amounts of money she required on a weekly basis. According to those court papers she needs $4,500 a week for clothes, $53,000 a week for living expenses, $1,500 for eating out, and $8,000 for travel. Douglas-David stated that her husband’s $43 million dollar offer would not hold to her lifestyle for more than 15 years, and therefore forced to go to court.

Both sides have accused each other of having affairs, including David who is alleged to have spent more than $250,000 on detectives to find his wife with a Swedish fencing champion in Stockholm. Douglas-David claims he once told her, “If you improve and behave, you can have in-vitro fertilization.”

David did not help himself in court when he answered, “I don’t remember specific conversations with Marie … it’s like you go home and talk to the dog,” to a question as to whether his wife had given him valuable financial advice.
