LOS ANGELES — Dodgers owner Frank McCourt will keep paying $225,000 per month to his ex-wife, but money once used toward the mortgages of six luxurious homes will come from a $1.1 million escrow account, attorneys said Wednesday.
Attorneys for the former couple hammered out a deal that called for McCourt to pay temporary support to Jamie McCourt over the next couple of months. He was paying an additional $412,159 a month for the mortgages of six homes and a condominium, but that money will now come from an account created after the sale of a home near the Playboy mansion.
“More clearly, until the case is out of bankruptcy, the Dodgers can’t be sold,” said Superior Court Judge Scott Gordon, who presided over an 11-day trial regarding the validity of the McCourts’ postnuptial marital agreement.
