Oil magnate's ex-wife slams $1 billion divorce ruling in appeal
Yahoo Finance ^ | December 5,2014 | Joshua Schneye

Posted on 12/05/2014 2:44:35 PM PST by Hojczyk

The ex-wife of Oklahoma oil magnate Harold Hamm has appealed a November divorce ruling that awarded her $1 billion, citing 78 alleged errors and missteps that caused a judge to grossly undervalue her stake in one of America's greatest oil fortunes.

Sue Ann Arnall's appeal assails as "inappropriate" Judge Howard Haralson's decision to allow lawyers for both her ex-husband and his oil company, Continental Resources, to "double team" her during an epic divorce trial.

It also disputes the court's acceptance of a revised version of Continental's corporate history that falsely dates hugely profitable moves as occurring before the couple's 26-year marriage began.

Because the spite of a woman scorned is worth more than $1,000,000,000.00.

He should cut it to $50,000 and ask if there are more appeals in his future.

Does anybody seriously believe that if she hadn’t worked in the family business, it wouldn’t have been any different? This is like Bill Gates wife trying to claim Microsoft became what it was because Bill was married to her.

Women can hold some amazing doublethink in the snakepit between their ears.

When she complains about getting a mere billion, it’s not hard to see why the marriage might have broken up in the first place.

Her problem, since that decision, the drop in oil prices has greatly reduced the value of his wealth. Maybe she will get that cut in half now.

Most states award 50% of the wealth accumulated during the marriage, except for inheritances, to each spouse. “Double teaming” is a choice each party has. The appeal suggests that this woman’s lawyer is suckering her into bigger billings.

“If things are as described, she’s been shorted many billions.”

I tend to agree. She did a lot of work for the business. And calling her a Gold Digger? They were married for 26 years! That’s a long time for a Gold Digger to hang around, eh?
