McGreevey tells wife: You'll get zilch from me

Jim McGreevey yesterday accused his soon-to-be-ex wife of "greedily" grabbing at the perks of being New Jersey's First Lady - and refusing to give them back.
In legal papers packed with snide and catty comments, the openly gay McGreevey told estranged wife Dina Matos McGreevey she can expect to get nothing from him.
Matos McGreevey had asked him to pony up $4,000 a month in alimony to help her live a lavish lifestyle like his.
"Her jealousy and contempt are almost out of control," he said.
"She greedily took the perquisites that my job offered her. ... Not only does she view [the governor's mansion] Drumthwackett as an entitlement, but she believes that she must be kept in that kind of lifestyle."
McGreevey resigned as governor in 2004 after announcing he was gay.
McGreevey's legal team said New Jersey law requires alimony payments only if the marriage lasted more than 10 years - and the McGreevey's is only three years old.
"As such, she is not entitled to alimony of any kind," said his lawyer Matthew Piermatti in the papers filed in Union Superior Court.
McGreevey, who pays $1,129 in child support, said his wife's complaint described his lavish lifestyle, concentrating on the 17-room mansion he lives in with his boyfriend.
"It does not belong to me," he said. "I have no lease and stay there only at the pleasure of its owner. ... I own no home."
And he lists his average income as $154,000 - a fraction of the $428,000 his wife claims he made last year and which, he says, included a one-time $250,000 payment for his book.
The pair's lawyers are due back in court next week.
Dina Matos McGreevey vs. Jim "Pretty Boy" McGreevey
It's hard to tell which one is worse.
Is she a gold digger?
Is he a deadbeat perverted dad?
These answers are obvious.
Seriously though...I feel sorry for their daughter. She doesn't deserve this.
The little girl can grow up to give full and honest blame to all the Unions and Democratic Party loyalists in New Jersey. If she makes it that far before committing suicide in some way.
She is probably regretting not pulling a Lorena Bobbitt while she had the chance.
Why isn’t NJ’s US attorney going after this guy? What a scumbag.
“Stiffs” might be a poor choice of words in this case....
Didn’t Hollywood praise a film in the past few years about a married person who “realized” (s)he’d been living a lie and abandoned the spouse and kid(s)?
Selfishness.
The Me-generation continues to live only for the here and now.
Yep, two bitches fighting it out.
Given that he threatened her physical health with his secret homosexual affairs, I think she is entitled to everything he owns and then some.
McGreedy woulod be more like it.
Typical...for a DemoPervert.
shouldn’t she get combat pay alimony. She must have run a pretty high risk of getting deadly STD given his lifestyle.
must ...resist...cheesy “stiff” joke...must resist...
How is it that he is only liable to wife and daughter for under 1200 per month.....???
"Her jealousy and contempt are almost out of control," he said. Hmmm he sounds like the btch too.
I have to say I hate Gay McGreedy. I hope the wife gets everything she can from him. I can't imagine how she must have felt ,standing there as he told the world he was gay. He is a pervert, who trolled the turnpike looking for fun.
Hey, they didn’t ask for this ............... you are the one who chose to ruin their lives.... be a man about it... you still owe your child a decent childhood...she will never recover from the nightmare you have made of her existence these past couple years...at least try to make it up to her..
Is he a deadbeat perverted dad?
I'm not sure about the "deadbeat" part.
48 k is hardly a lavish lifestyle.
They deserve each other.
They deserve each other.
How do you know what she knew and when she knew it? Are you saying you are a mind reader or a heart reader like Bush?
...a humiliating reminder for the State Of New Jersey every time he opens his mouth
What a low life bastard. Of course gays hold him up on a pedestal.
a similar marriage-for-political-expedience resulted in the fame and leftism of arianna huffington, yes?
I live in NJ & I wasn’t aware he was gay. Now I sure don’t travel in “their” circles but I was pretty shocked when I heard it as were most people I know. I still can’t understand why he wasn’t charged with anything but I have heard he has the dirt on many people.
Two points. This appears to be the opinion of the author of the article. Four thousand dollars a month doesn't sound like the path to a "lavish lifestyle."
McGreedy demonstrates that queers are among the most selfish bastards that exist. Its always all about them--their special rights, their perverted and vile lifestyle. If anybody cares to accuse me of being homophobic--damn right I am.
Very true. I just hope the little girl doesn’t suffer too much. I heard his 1st ex wife took off for another country with her daughter when they divorced.
Lifestyles of the gay and famous....
Did you read my post? I am talking abouot what he owes the daughter.............
They wear very thin masks, they come across as very nice people at first, but both are just about the greediest, selfish, petulant people I know
$4000 per month is hardly a “lavish” lifestyle.
“I have no lease and stay there only at the pleasure of its owner...”
TMI!!! TMI!!!
Well, his wife got “stiffed”. Hopefully his daughter didn’t.
Re McGrevey living in another person’s house “at his pleasure”. I’m sure that this can be interpreted in many ways, none of them polite.
This guy is a work of art, such as that done by an artist on LSD.
New Jersey - there must be something in the water besides Jimmy Hoffa’s body parts.
I agree.
My understanding is that New Jersey is a high tax and quite expensive state to live in. $4K per month is just slumming by...
I agree with you
& HE knew he was a homosexual (or bi-sexual) (or so confused as to what ever his sexual preference was) when he decided to don that beard.
& it wasn’t his first time either...
Isn’t McGreevey supposedly in an Episcopal seminary? If so, hasn’t he learned to turn the other cheek yet? Oh, he already did. Nevermind.
He then characterized the overt homosexual as "very spiteful, very vindictive". His words proved true. Numbers of political figures were brought down just for spite. Jeremy Thorpe, Liberal party head was nailed. No more Thorpe.
I accessed GOLAN CIPAL. He has a website. He has alleged he was harassed by McGreevey. Spiteful homosexuals got on a website and alleged Cipal was known around the bath house circuit.
Nasty, nasty, in spades.
How do you know all of this, were you friends with them? How do you know he wanted to be married so HE could be gov. and renounced his gayness so she would marry him? She deserves every penny and then some, just for humiliation alone. Sex in truck stops!!! And he writes about it in a book!!! What an absolute degenerate pig.
What a downfall.
From Governor of a state to gay gigolo.
I’m in her corner, if for no other reason than to show what a rat she was married to...
Assuming that's per month, it wouldn't cover half the tuition at a decent private school, let alone food/shelter/clothing.
Away from the depravity of a sham marriage, theft of govt property to keep a lover, etc. etc., McGreevey is a monster for not supporting to the best of his financial ability the girl he fathered. He's deliberately, transparently set up his life to minimize visible financial strength, while it is obvious he enjoys a very lavish, cushy life.
A disgusting human.
If it is his child and he makes $154k/annum on average, then $1k / month for the child alone is fairly low. It wasn’t too long ago that he would owe about $77k/yr by default and the burden of proof would be on him to show otherwise.
Additionally, since he is gay, his ‘boyfriend’ is likely to have a full time job where both of their incomes are already in the expendable income bracket, since his house is provided by the state.
IMHO, he’s criminal, without honor, fails in his marriage, family, and isn’t worth society’s efforts to even consider other than to incarcerate. BTW he has also defrauded the voters by fooling them into electing a homosecual instead of living up to his oath of office. There remains another institution more corrupt than he is, namely that group which promoted him into a position of authority.
And he lists his average income as $154,000 - a fraction of the $428,000 his wife claims he made last year and which, he says, included a onetime $250,000 payment for his book.
First, if he is making $154,000 / year while a seminary student ... wow. He owes more than $1,200 per month in child support I would guess.
Second, the IRS has determined that living rent free or at a below market rental for any length of time is considered "imputed income" to the tenant, and that it is a taxable item. While they do not attached this income often, in any case of fraud they will add it just to pile on the pressure to IRS victims.
I don't like it, but if fairly enforced I would expect that McGayvee will need to pony up some additional funds to the IRS at tax time.
