The Shark duck hooks his divorce

Greg%20and%20Laura%20Norman.jpgIt looks as if the final stages of the Great White Shark’s divorce are not going swimmingly:

What months ago was characterized as a nearly resolved divorce settlement between golf great Greg Norman and his wife, Laura, has now turned into the most contentious aspect of their split to date – one that has Laura Norman accusing Greg of changing the locks to the couple’s Jupiter Island home and cutting off her credit cards. [. . .]
Laura says Greg, who in the golf world in nicknamed “The Great White Shark,” has . . . refused to pay her attorneys’ fees and “is attempting to starve (her) out so she has no choice but to surrender to his positions,” Laura’s attorneys Jack Scarola and Russell J. Ferraro wrote.
Greg’s lawyers, in a letter to Scarola, said he has already paid them about $725,000 to fund the litigation, including a half-million dollar payout in April. The money, according to Laura’s lawyers, has been used to pay attorneys’ fees and hire a number of expert witnesses who pored over the couple’s finances to come up with the settlement.
Attempts by Laura’s lawyers to get more money was met earlier this month with a refusal from New York attorney Howard Sharfstein, part of Greg’s legal team. In addition, according to Laura’s lawyers, Greg fired the couple’s housekeeper and changed the locks on their $21 million Jupiter Island estate.

Changing locks and cutting off credit cards? Well, at least Norman still has a ways to go in the divorce department before he catches Nick Faldo.
