McGreevey tells wife: You'll get zilch from me

Jim McGreevey yesterday accused his soon-to-be-ex wife of "greedily" grabbing at the perks of being New Jersey's First Lady - and refusing to give them back.
In legal papers packed with snide and catty comments, the openly gay McGreevey told estranged wife Dina Matos McGreevey she can expect to get nothing from him.
Matos McGreevey had asked him to pony up $4,000 a month in alimony to help her live a lavish lifestyle like his.
"Her jealousy and contempt are almost out of control," he said.
"She greedily took the perquisites that my job offered her. ... Not only does she view [the governor's mansion] Drumthwackett as an entitlement, but she believes that she must be kept in that kind of lifestyle."
McGreevey resigned as governor in 2004 after announcing he was gay.
McGreevey's legal team said New Jersey law requires alimony payments only if the marriage lasted more than 10 years - and the McGreevey's is only three years old.
"As such, she is not entitled to alimony of any kind," said his lawyer Matthew Piermatti in the papers filed in Union Superior Court.
McGreevey, who pays $1,129 in child support, said his wife's complaint described his lavish lifestyle, concentrating on the 17-room mansion he lives in with his boyfriend.
"It does not belong to me," he said. "I have no lease and stay there only at the pleasure of its owner. ... I own no home."
And he lists his average income as $154,000 - a fraction of the $428,000 his wife claims he made last year and which, he says, included a one-time $250,000 payment for his book.
The pair's lawyers are due back in court next week.
You’d be shocked to find out how truly f#%&ed-up some people are. Look at just about every senior member of the Clinton administration for Exhibits A, B, C, etc. in this regard.
Jealous of some fag ex-Gov who resigned in disgrace? I doubt it. But it's easy to believe she holds him in utter contempt.

The issue of free rent is fairly well defined when it comes to employment related reduced rent. Clear rules (mostly) as outlined above.
Why is McGayvee living in this house? Is it to provide security while the owner is away? Is it out of the goodness of the owners heart?
I’d check with an enrolled agent before providing an opinion but imputed income is common in the case of bankruptcy (debt forgiveness) and housing allowances that are not Required as a condition of employment.
If he was a Log Cabin repub, you can be certain that he would be paying taxes on the free rent.
Also, if Dina Mantos is obviously so intellectually challenged, then that lends support to the argument that she receive even MORE money from her ex, as she is too dumb to support herself and her daughter.
My goodness, the scum has really been rising to the top today. The Brittany bombout, the OJ marathon on Fox TV, Berkhead vs. Stern vs. Geraldo... now we’re talking the culture of corruption.

When I first read of Jim McGreevy’s resignation, I smelled a rat. Where in New Jersey’s Constitution or the qualification
for the office of the Governor doe’s it say it is unlawful to remain Governor’ if a sitting Governor is revealed as a homosexual?
Considering his previous holding of two political posts simultaneously, I suggest he resigned before the real truth got out revealing something more nefarious than simply being a ‘switch hitter’ Ed from CT.
Shaking my head...Too bad one of them didn’t rat him out. IMHO he is just a scummer. I heard he wanted full custody of his daughter awhile back. I would hope he doesn’t get it. In fact I think his rotten arse should be jail.
Dino is and was a Greek princess who married him because she thought she was getting on the gravy train, so to speak....
So because she allegedly knew about him she's deserves squat. But, if what you say is true, did he know about her? And did he marry her because need a wife to perpetuate the facade of being a normal hetro family guy?
So it seems he used her as well.
Truck stops? *shiver* Toe tapping involved with that?
I live here too & feel exactly the same as you do.
What a creep he is! So now he enters an Episcopalian seminary, getting ready to ride the free gravy train of the church, just like he rode the free government gravy train.
It must be nice never to have to work for a living; stiffing your wife and kid; and letting the taxpayers and the churchgoers pay for your expensive habits (and boyfriends).
I hear you. I grew up in Philly. That is why I tell conservatives that do not like Rudy G they still should vote for him if comes down to Rudy against Hillary. Most people do not know the magnitude of corruption in local democratic strong holds.
LOL.
Thanks for seconding that motion...
If you aren’t a homosexual, you are certainly fulfilling all the stereotypes of one - pissy, bitchy, and spiteful.
How do you know when she found out he was a faggot?
Someone can correct me, but I believe McGreevey has entered a seminary in order to become an Episcopal priest.
The ECUSA, of course, ordains gays, but one would expect a bit more kindness.
