Celebrity Divorce

TMZ has learned the core of Judge Scott Gordon's ruling is that the post-marital agreement that Jamie and Frank McCourt signed -- making Frank the sole owner of the team -- was invalid because there was no "meeting of the minds" between the former couple.

In essence the judge was saying that Frank and Jamie never had a joint understanding of what it meant when title to the team was transferred solely to Frank.

Erin Barry -- wife of Tony's former teammate Brent Barry -- just went to her website and wrote, "I DID NOT HAVE AN AFFAIR WITH TONY PARKER, nor did I 'pursue' Tony Parker."

She continues, "Unfortunately, because our divorces are occurring at the same time, great speculation has been cast on our friendship."

"My friendship with Tony Parker had nothing to do with the end of my marriage (which is painful enough without this added drama), and to assume that we had an affair is naïve, ridiculous, and completely misguided."

See the entire statement after the jump ...

They met on neutral ground ... at a hotel in the L.A. area. Tony was in town because his San Antonio Spurs played the Clippers last night -- but based on Eva's gestures and Tony's expressions ... we're guessing there was little hoops strategy discussed.

It's not final yet -- but according to the docs filed in L.A. County Superior Court, and obtained by TMZ -- the "Scream 4" star called it quits in June ... citing "irreconcilable differences."

Campbell also specified she wants to block the court from awarding her soon-to-be ex -- an English actor -- any spousal support.

Neve and John were married for 3 years -- and a source close to the former couple tells TMZ, "They're still really close friends, and it was a very amicable divorce."

The McCourts had until today to accept the settlement proposal by an L.A. Superior Court judge. Frank's lawyer says his client accepted the proposal, but apparently Jamie did not.

Jamie's resistance suggests the judge may have felt Jamie gave her rights to the Dodgers away when she signed a division of property agreement with Frank during their marriage.

Richard Orsinger, Esq. filed Tony's divorce petition on November 19 in Texas. But sources connected with the case tell TMZ ... when Tony hired Orsinger, the lawyer didn't know another one of his clients -- former San Antonio Spurs teammate Brent Barry -- would have a connection to Parker's divorce.

Barry is in the process of getting a divorce from Erin Barry, the woman whom Parker allegedly sexted on the side.

Bottom line ... we're told Orsinger felt it was a conflict of interest to rep both Parker and Barry, so Parker got cut.

But sources tell us Parker is in the process of finding another lawyer and the Texas divorce will proceed. Eva has filed for divorce in Los Angeles.

TMZ first reported the couple's intention to call it quits. Now Ann Lopez has filed legal docs to make it official.

According to the divorce petition, filed today in L.A. County Superior Court by disso-queen Laura Wasser, Ann cites "irreconcilable differences."

Ann is asking for spousal support and primary physical custody of their 14-year-old daughter.

We're told there is no prenup.

Ben still wants the divorce, but he's changed his mind on when he and Laura separated. TMZ broke the story ... when Ben filed for divorce last month, he listed the date of separation as January 1, 2010.

But last Friday, Ben's lawyer amended his divorce petition, now listing the date of separation as July 1, 2010. It's unclear why Ben had a change of heart.

According to today's court docket, the judgment for the divorce has been entered. So Frank and Jamie are officially single.

As for the all-important issue of who gets what, we're told the judge has given Frank and Jamie until the end of this month to either accept or reject the mediator's proposed settlement. If they don't agree, we're told the judge will make a decision by December 29.

At stake -- who owns the Dodgers.

Stay tuned

The documents, which were stamped at the court in Texas on Friday, were filed using initials only. Unlike Eva's docs, there is no mention of a prenup.

TMZ broke the story ... Tony filed his own divorce papers in Texas, just days after Eva filed in California. Sources tell us Eva's side had absolutely no idea Tony's lawyer filed the docs -- and, we're told, Eva was "very upset" when she found out.

According to our sources, both Tony and Eva want their prenup enforced. But when Eva's lawyer filed the divorce papers, the attorney checked the box that reserved Eva's right to collect spousal support -- something we're told is inconsistent with their prenup.

Sources say ... since Tony's lawyer felt Eva's divorce papers left open the possibility she would challenge the prenup, he wanted to protect his client by filing in Texas, which several experts tell us could be beneficial to Tony in terms of enforcing the prenup.

In the end, sources connected with the couple tell us Eva and Tony are in sync -- all was calm on Sunday -- but right now there are two divorce petitions in two states, and someone's gotta give.

Stay tuned ..

Tony's divorce petition was filed in Bexar County, Texas. The stamp shows today's date. Sources connected with Tony confirm a document was filed.

Eva filed for divorce earlier in the week in Los Angeles, CA., setting up a legal battle over where the case will be heard. Texas divorces can be handled quickly -- in as little as 60 days.

According to the petition, which was filed by initials -- W.P and E.P. -- Tony states the reason for the divorce: "The marriage has become insupportable because of discord or conflict of personalities between Petitioner and Respondent that destroys the legitimate ends of the marriage relationships and prevents any reasonable expectation of reconciliation."

Here's what's interesting ... As we first reported, the couple signed a prenup, but in Tony's petition he makes no mention of it. To the contrary, he writes, "Petitioner believes Petitioner and Respondent will enter into an agreement for the division of their estate." Since they've already signed a prenup, the word "will" is curious.

Tony's petition also states, "Petitioner owns certain separate property that is not part of the community estate of the parties ..."

According to the docs, filed on October 29 in Bexar County, Texas, Brent says, "The marriage has become insupportable because of discord or conflict of personalities ..."

Brent's wife, Erin Barry, was allegedly sexting Tony Parker multiple times and that is what triggered the breakup of Tony's marriage to Eva. As we already reported, Tony's people deny he ever had a physical relationship with Erin.

Sources connected with Tony tell TMZ ... Tony did indeed have a "sexting relationship" with Erin Barry, the estranged wife of former San Antonio Spur Brent Barry, but it ended months ago. The sources insist, "They never had a physical relationship."

And sources connected with Tony tell TMZ ... Tony and Eva were well aware that the divorce would be filed. We're told Tony was planning on filing for divorce in San Antonio, Texas because it was more convenient, but, "Eva talked him out of it because she wanted to file in Los Angeles."

Sources also tell us -- contrary to the statement Eva's rep made to TMZ -- Eva not only knew she was filing for divorce, but it was timed to coincide with the Us Weekly interview.

As for why Tony and Eva are telling different stories about the divorce, a close friend of Tony's says it's simple: "She was into the whole PR thing. He wasn't."

Eva's people say Tony's story is untrue ... with one source telling TMZ, "Eva and Tony were still talking about working out the marriage up until the morning she filed."

Both Eva and Tony had Roman numerals tatted on themselves -- representing their wedding date. Eva's is on her wrist -- Tony's is on his ring finger.

But there's more -- Eva also got the word "Nine" tatted on her neck (Tony's jersey number).
