Sports News: A judge has ruled that a postnuptial marital agreement giving sole ownership of the Los Angeles Dodgers to Frank McCourt is not valid, a spokesman for his estranged wife Jamie McCourt said Tuesday.
Mark Fabiani told The Associated Press the decision means the Dodgers could be shared under California's community property law.
Fabiani said he saw the decision issued by Superior Court Judge Scott Gordon but had not yet reviewed the entire document.
The ruling came after an 11-day trial that focused on whether the signed pact between Jamie and Frank McCourt in 2004 should decide who owns the team.
Frank McCourt contends the agreement gives the Dodgers to him. His estranged wife argues no one told her she gave up her purported stake in the team by signing the document.
The couple have been embroiled in a nasty and costly divorce trial, where legal bills alone are estimated to top $20 million.
