Okay we leave 2008 talking about the Real Housewives of Atlanta and we bring in 2009 talking about them but talk we must! Good Greif! The airwaves in Atlanta are all abuzz about the divorce settlement of former Atlanta Falcon Bob Whitfield and Atlanta Housewives’ Sheree Whitfield. Sheree was famous for saying she was holding out for a 7-figure divorce settlement. Well everyone is weighing in on that settlement and Sheree’s decision to appeal the settlement and how her lawyer portrayed her in the divorce hearings.
The settlement seems fair by all standards to everyone but Sheree and her lawyer. She might not have gotten a straight full 7 figure settlement but by the time you add up what she got it is in the low 7 figures thus the reason for Sheree’s disappointment. Here is the breakdown of the settlement. She was awarded custody of their two children, child support of $2142.87 a month, a division of the martial property totaling more than $1.1 million including a lump sum of $775,000 and she also receives an additional $113,422 a year from the divorce. It’s unclear if the child support is included in the $113,422 annual amount. She will also receive half of the martial portions of three NFL retirement plans. But the court did not award alimony, which is the base of her appeal. Keep in mind that Sheree and Bob were together 14 years but only married 3 of those years.
To me this is a nice settlement except that Sheree did not get to keep her 2.6 million dollar home. Which is strange considering that most of the time judges will not make women with kids give up their home. But it seems practical since Sheree has no sense of money giving her shopping habits on the television show. She had a penchant for not looking at the price tag of things. Well you better start looking at tags or you will be in bankruptcy court next. Besides I’m sure that she could not keep up a 2.6 million dollar home if she is not doing a good job managing money.
Bob Whitfield was rewarded nearly all of the real estate, including four homes and the recording studio. Her lawyers have appealed the divorce settlement, which has been denied by the lower courts in Georgia so now they have appealed to the Supreme Court.
Now here is the part that many people are taking issue with. Her appeal is based on the following, that she has a lack of education and inability to earn income. In addition, the courts abused its discretion by not awarding alimony. She feels that her husband will always earn money because he is a sophisticated businessman with investment properties in costa rica, California and Atlanta. He has recently returned to Stanford University to enhance his earning power.
Okay first of all our issue with all of this is why on earth would you say you have an inability to earn income. Are you handicapped in some way, shape or form? No. Call it what it is laziness! You don’t want to work, which was obvious by the way she handled her clothing line debut. She wants to run around attending lunches & spa dates while everyone else does all the work. Hence why her clothing line debut was a complete disaster. Okay our next issue when has a lack of education ever stopped anyone from earning income? Must we remind Sheree of Bill Gates and Ted Turner? Both are wealthy with only a high school diploma. Her arguments’ are senseless and without merit. And finally if you want to be a sophisticated businessperson take some of the $113,422 and go back to school. What is stopping her from learning? Her appeal to the Supreme Court makes her look greedy and dumber than a 5th grader. How can you devalue your own worth? And didn’t you get yourself on the “Real Housewives” television show that is creating income Sheree! Case closed…NEXT!
