'This could happen to you'

Frank and Jamie McCourt may have taken a proud franchise — the Dodgers — and run it into the ground, but that’s not to say they haven’t done some good.

In Los Angeles divorce court they serve as examples.

A Los Angeles Times story by Bill Shaikin quoted Lisa Helfend Meyer, a family law specialist who has kept up with the nasty McCourt divorce case, who noted that the McCourts “were so focused on destroying each other that they destroyed themselves," Meyer said.

Writes Shaikin:

“Meyer said she was in court last week, working on a case in which the judge felt compelled to remind a divorcing couple to focus on dividing a substantial marital estate rather than attacking one another. The judge held up a newspaper and pointed to a story about the McCourts.

" 'See what happened to the McCourts?’ the judge said. ‘This could happen to you.’ ”
