Carla Hall of the Los Angeles Times has confirmed that Dodgers owner Frank McCourt will owe estranged wife Jamie $637,159 a month in temporary spousal support, as per a ruling by a local Superior Court judge.

The amount that Judge Scott Gordon decided upon falls short of the $988,845 that Jamie McCourt requested. More than half that requested amount ($568,829), her lawyers said, is needed to pay the costs, including mortgages, of seven homes and an eighth piece of property in Mexico that are listed in her name. Her lawyers argued that spousal support should include those costs since her estranged husband used to contribute funds to the housing.

The judge specified that $412,159 of the monthly total should go to payment of costs associated with the properties, but ordered the property in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, to be sold.

Josh Fisher of Dodger Divorce did the math and concluded that, with retroactive fees from December, Jamie will end up receiving $6,371,590 from Frank through September.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are not the Pittsburgh Pirates, and nowhere is this more evident than in their fans’ lack of patience. Given the team’s last place record of 13-16 in arguably MLB’s weakest division, things are already getting nasty. Also, when the area’s leading publication is constantly ripping the both the team’s play and its ownership, it isn’t a good sign for one of the country’s two largest sports markets.
