Michael Moore, Wife Tangle Over Divorce Dollars

Director claims spendthrift spouse wasted funds on "her" mansion

JUNE 5--With his divorce trial looming, Michael Moore is battling his wife over the valuation of the couple’s assets, while branding her a spendthrift who “unilaterally wasted a large percentage of the marital funds” building a lakefront mansion that has prompted mocking news stories about the activist filmmaker’s wealth....Moore, 60, and Glynn, 56, were married nearly 23 years ago and have no children. According to court filings, the couple (seen at right) differs on when they separated. Moore claims it was in August 2010, while Glynn says the pair parted last June, when Moore filed for divorce in a Michigan Circuit Court.

While witness lists submitted to the court are filled with the names of assorted property appraisers, Moore has reported that he intends to call Hollywood super agent Ari Emanuel as an “expert witness.” The nature of the expected testimony from Emanuel, co-CEO of the William Morris Endeavor agency, is not described in court papers. Moore has also included Morton Janklow, one of the country’s top literary agents, on his witness list.......In a series of demands for discovery material, Moore has sought a wide variety of documents from Glynn, including a “list of all vacations/travel from January 1, 2009 include the location, duration and all companions” and a “list, with photographs, of all quilts in your possession whether purchased, gifted, loaned or produced by you.” Glynn is a quilting enthusiast who operates a Facebook page called “The Daily Stitch.”

Moore has also demanded Glynn to disclose whether, during the course of their marriage, she had ever hired a private investigator to “follow, record, photograph” him. Court records do not include Glynn’s reply to that query, which has been made more than once.....

This certainly explains a lot. I couldn't understand that ridiculous house--it seemed OTT.

But this looks like it will be a very ugly split, indeed, and it's been building for a long while.

I agree--unless they both want to run a charity for lawyers, what's the point? nt MADem Jul 2014 #2

You know, in cases like this, I hope they just split it 50/50 and he's done with it. No use fighting with greed because they often want more.

Be done with it, Michael.
