A few weeks back we learned that Phil Ivey’s ex-wife was asking for Clark County Family Court Judge Bill Gonzalez to be disqualified from the couple’s divorce proceedings since her husband (along with his lawyer’s law firm) donated in the neighborhood of $10,000 to the judge’s reelection campaign. Now Phil Ivey has fired back, releasing some of the details of the sealed divorce settlement according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
According to the newspaper, Ivey’s attorney’s filed a document with the Nevada Supreme Court, answering the charges leveled by Luciaetta Ivey. In the answer Attorneys David Chesnoff and Richard Schonfeld stated:
“Luciaetta Ivey received her car, her life insurance policy, 40 percent of a stock account, a down payment for a new residence, half of the proceeds from the sale of the couple’s home, and 40 percent of all business interests with the exception of Tiltware, LLC… Phil Ivey accepted more than $170,000 in credit card debt and more than $15.1 million in gambling and other debt.”
The document went on to say that “Luciaetta ended up with no debt, with millions of dollars worth of property, and with specific unambiguous alimony provisions,” The “millions of dollars worth of property” seems to be a “purse collection worth more than $1.2 million, jewelry valued at more than $1 million,” according to the LVSR.
The sticking point seems to be the $180,000 in alimony Luciaetta was due each month, but this was contingent on Phil Ivey’s income from Titlware, and should Tiltware stop paying Ivey, Luciaetta would receive nothing in alimony –and we all know that Tiltware is most definitely NOT paying Ivey! Ivey made alimony payments up until April of this year, and now it seems Luciaetta is looking for a more favorable ruling that might take into account Ivey’s other revenue streams when it comes to alimony.
