LOS ANGELES -- The War of the McCourts has now hung over the Los Angeles Dodgers for more than a year -- and it will likely continue into 2011.Despite months of legal wrangling and embarrassing revelations, Frank and Jamie McCourt have been unable to reach a settlement in their high-profile divorce. In the latest development, Judge Peter Lichtman, a court-appointed mediator, asked the couple to decide on his latest settlement proposal by noon on Tuesday: Frank accepted it, but Jamie apparently rejected the offer.
The terms of the proposal are confidential, and Lichtman has ordered attorneys not to discuss the offer or the mediation process.
Nonetheless, Frank's side went on the public-relations offensive Tuesday afternoon. In a statement, Frank's attorney Marc Seltzer accused Jamie of "allowing this matter to drag on further," and noted that Frank accepted the settlement proposal because "he felt it was the responsible thing to do for his family, the Dodgers organization and the entire community."
Jamie's attorneys declined to comment, citing Lichtman's orders.
