Wisconsin movie fans may be familiar with director Michael Moore and his current divorce, which one source has characterized as “vicious.” Moore and his wife of 23 years, Kathleen Glynn, are undergoing a split. Sources did not name a specific reason for the divorce, but a major point of contention will be Glynn’s use of marital funds to build an expensive vacation mansion on a lake in the couple’s native Michigan.
Moore’s attorneys are alleging that the building of the house has done considerable damage to his reputation. To back up their assertion, his lawyers have called in two of Moore’s agents, one of whom is the book agent who secured several of Moore’s successful book deals. The agents will attest to Moore’s niche role in Hollywood and how having ownership of the luxurious house has impacted his image as a man of the people.
The attorneys will also be introducing into evidence various news articles about the house, including one that describes it as a sign that Moore is hypocritical. The couple also owns eight other properties in various locations. The divorce proceedings will deal with this aspect of property division, as well as a decision on how to split the millions of dollars earned during the couple’s time together.
For those who are about to undergo divorce for the first time, it may be extremely difficult to determine what to expect. For these people, it may be helpful to talk to a lawyer who has experience in divorce law. The attorney may be able to explain what to expect and help guide the client through the process.
