Hogan News: Hulk Hogan fires back with details of reasons for split with wife Linda Nov 30, 2007 - 7:40:53 PM
Hulk Hogan responded to his wife Linda's claims regarding her reasons for wanting a divorce. He said the separated in September, a month after son Nick's car crash.
In her petition, Linda has sought legal custody of Nick until his 18th birthday next July. Hulk replied, asking for "shared parental responsibility."
Linda requested half of the couple's shared assets, which include more than $9.5 million real estate holdings and unspecified alimony and child support. She also wanted her legal costs covered.
Hulk's response noted "numerous liabilities, contingent liabilities, obligations and debts which must be resolved as part of any equitable distribution that may be accomplished by the court."
Depositions given by the parents of John Graziano were also released this week. His mother Debora said Nick said he skidded into a tree when he couldn't avoid a puddle of water in the street, leading to hydroplaning.
Deborah said Hulk told her he was very upset that Nick took the car out with his friends, but he was in the shower at the time they left the house.
Both Graziano parents say they plan to file separate suits against the Bollea family.
KELLER ANALYSIS: One lawyer on a talk radio station said according to Flordia law, getting divorsed would not protect the Hogan family assets in the case of a civil suit, and that the alcohol in Nick's system at the time of the crash, apparently supplied by his father, is what will make this case potentially financially crippling for the Hogan family.
