Michael Douglas
Months ago, news reports revealed that Michael Douglas' ex-wife felt she was entitled to some of the funds earned from his movie, "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps." PRNewsChannel.com reports “The only way Diandra should get any money is if a settlement agreement gives her those rights,” says Melcher. “She shouldn't be entitled to keep going back to the well for more money just because a sequel was made, unless that right was specifically awarded to her in the judgment.”
Sometimes, "bitterness and jealousy can keep exes on the lookout for ways to go back to court. They want to inflict pain on their former spouse or they may feel cheated and hope to get the money they think they should have received when the marriage ended." Apparently, Diandra Douglas, the ex wife, does not have very good timing considereing Michael's recent battle with throat cancer. The website also reports that "legally, it doesn’t matter. But cases aren’t always decided on the law. The sympathy is with Michael and that may very well have an influence on how the judge decides the case.”
Luckily, the two parties involved in this matter have good divorce lawyers to help them settle the issue. If you or someone you know is involved in anything like what Douglas and his ex-wife, you may need a divorce attorney as well, please contact one of the Myrtle Beach family law attorneys at The Mace Firm a call.
