Frank and Jamie McCourt are in the midst of a bitter divorce trial where their assets, including the ownership of the Los Angeles Dodgers  is being decided by Superior Court Judge Scott Gordon.  Judge Scott Gordon made his ruling today where he decided to award co-ownership of the Dodgers to Jamie McCourt (and other half to Frank).

It is very likely that since Frank McCourt wasn’t awarded sole ownership of the team, Frank will file an appeal.  According to Bill Shaikin of the LA Times, the ruling should not have an effect on the day-to-day operations of the team.  The ruling could also force Frank to go back to the negotiation table and end up paying Jamie significantly more money.

Judge Scott Gordon who in fact is a Dodger fan according to a PRO Rumors source, has helped determine the next chapter of the Dodgers franchise and the direction the ownership will go.  Though this chapter maybe done, the appeals processes is just beginning and it could last up to two or more years.

In a separate piece, Tim Brown of Yahoo Sports adds that Jamie will look to secure investors in an attempt to but out Frank
