Thanks Jules. Can you maybe expand on that with an explanation of what is going on? I did start off by saying I was confused as to what the hell was going on with all these reports today.

Definitely is conflicting reports out there. I read she filed in Illinois and he filed in Tennessee. Also read that she was the one caught cheating.....so who knows where the truth is in all of this

Spill it Spiral. Not the dirt if you know. Just what happens if he did wrong or she did wrong. They filed in different states. Explain why. Does timing of filing matter? How is jurisdiction determined? What'd you have for lunch today?

I'm sure you have many clients who have the dumb thought that if their spouse cheated it somehow negates that spouse's claim to any of the marital estate. And I have no idea about Tennessee, but the concept of "grounds for divorce" or "fault" in Illinois is pretty much obsolete. With the way his petition in Tennessee is worded, perhaps things are different down there. It will be interesting to see where the case ultimately ends up.

A quick look reveals this lawyers site. Of course it does. https://www.divorcenet.com/resources/ad ... essee.html

Anyway, it looks like TN is both no fault and fault and old Ben is going to battle and see if he cant get things done there. From what I read separately about him and her it seems since 2005 or whatever they have lived on their estate in TN and baseball towns are temporary. So the best lawyer gets it done I guess?

And now you know why he filed in Tennessee.

You can cheat all you want and it won't have an impact on how property is divided and support calculated.

Fault, in states where that still exists, is the triggering event that gives the court the ability to grant people a divorce. Fault means having to prove things like adultery, habitual drunkenness, abuse. If you couldn't prove it then the court wouldn't divorce you.

My guess is Ben filed in TN because it has more favorable child support and maintenance laws compared to IL.

Spiral should start soliciting Zobrist for when jurisdiction is established in Cook County.

Can't wait for Julie to criticize the Cubs for giving Ben extra time off to handle his affairs and potentially gain a legal advantage.

I agree with Julie. As I like to say, "hey kid, take a shit on your own time".

Are they paying him while he is off tending to his marital affairs? If so they have blown about 850K so far with no end in sight. With as tight as the family is keeping their belts this season its pretty fucking ridiculous to be pissing away money like this. Bereavement and Paternity leave are one thing and going through the big D is quite another.

Cubs told him to take off a couple months so they could use the money to sign Kimbrel.

Plus, it gave them an excuse to promote Russell to see if he’s good. If he sucks, they can demote him when they bring Z back.

demote Heyward lol


5 for his last 58

He's on the restricted list. He's not getting paid.

I want to sing "this is your Zobrist Divorce" to the tune of "Haitian Divorce" by Steely Dan every time I see this thread title.

I looked up the Mrs after Kirkwood mentioned her Tatt. I had to see if it was real.....and it is. While doing my research on the tatt I came about many pics of her and she went from being a totally sweet looking hottie to completely fucking crazy. Z looked pretty much the same throughout all the pics with additional facial hair as the years accumulated.
