Child and spousal support

Frasier MoneyBifurcation

POINTS OF DISPUTE

Three properties under dispute; Malibu house was of biggest concern

Kelsey lived with girlfriend Katye in a house in Beverly Hills

Boss got canceled and Kelsey could not afford maintaining it

Intended to move into the Malibu house with his new wife Kayte and their newborn

Camille was outraged, and insisted they put the Malibu property for sale and split the profits, along with the other houses

Points:Camille- 30Kelsey- 15

PROPERTIES

Daughter Mason aged 11 at the timeSon Jude aged 8 at the timeKelsey proposed:-should share joint legal custody-primary custody of Jude be awarded to him-primary custody of Mason be awarded to CamilleCamille thought this was outrageous because the

children were already struggling with the divorce In retaliation, Camille proposed:- should share joint legal custody-primary physical custody of the children should solely be awarded to her.Points:Camille- 37Kelsey- 22

CUSTODY OF TWO CHILDREN

PROOF

Amassed over $60 million in assets throughout marriage

Camille desired child and spousal support due to his cheating on her and fathering a child out of wedlock while still married to her

He had an equally strong desire not to pay supportHer embarrassing and hurtful comments about him to

media outlets strengthened his dislike towards her by the end of the divorce

Didn’t want to pay her money he thought she didn’t deserve

Points:Camille- 18Kelsey- 18

CHILD AND SPOUSAL SUPPORT

Frasier ran on TV from 1993 to 2004 Kelsey believed he earned the money from the show

without her help, and considered it his sole propertyFrasier was on the air for four years before Camille

married himWas a spin-off of the critically acclaimed show

Cheers, which was filmed when they were not marriedCamille did not have any strong feelings about having

the money If anything at all, she would want it in spite of himPoints:

Camille- 7Kelsey - 15

FRASIER MONEY

Bifurcation splits a divorce into two separate parts:-First part deals with the legal separation of the

two parties-Second part deals with the actual settlement of

all assets and acquisitionsKelsey wanted to divorce quick enough to marry

Kayte Walsh before their child was bornThis was a big concern to Kelsey, and Kayte and him

already chose a wedding date in February 2011 that he needed to be divorced by

ADJUSTED WINNER- SPLIT CUSTODY

Camille gets her way on having their houses being put up for sale

She gets to spend the majority of the time with the kids in terms of custody

Kelsey gets (4/59) of the time spent with the children

He does not have to pay child and spousal support

Also gets to keep his Frasier money

He is allowed the bifurcation.

RESULTS

In reality, their three properties were put up for sale, and profits were split 50/50 between them

Child custody was awarded to both Kelsey and Camille

-terms were that both children would stay in Los Angeles with Camille, while Kelsey maintained “meaningful contact” with themThe bifurcation was granted to Kelsey,

allowing Camille and Kelsey to officially be divorced in the beginning of February 2011

Kelsey was then able to  marry Kayte two weeks later

For these three issues, we came up with the same results

REALITY VS. ADJUSTED WINNER

The Frasier money, along with all other liquid money the couple amassed, was split evenly between the parties

Camille was awarded $41,000 a month in spousal and child support

She is no longer featured on The Real Housewives and has no other income

Spousal and child support will allow her to support her children while Kelsey starts a new family

REALITY VS. ADJUSTED WINNER CONT.

Camille was diagnosed with endometrial cancer in September 2013

Two days after getting a radical hysterectomy, her then boyfriend of two years, Dimitri Charalambopoulos, physically assaulted her in the hotel she was recovering in

She then filed a restraining order from himShe also recently claimed that Kelsey hasn’t

contacted nor seen her and their kids in six months

He allegedly hasn’t contact her about her cancer or abuse she endured
