Court Sides With Mistress Anne Melican In Divorce Battle
ATLANTA -- Georgia's top court ruled in favor of the mistress of a multimillionaire in a long-running legal battle that has helped shape the state's divorce law.
The Georgia Supreme Court's 4-3 ruling Monday found that the proceeds from the sale of a Florida condominium should go to Anne Melican.
It was the third time the case pitting the family of car dealership titan Harvey Strother against his mistress landed in Georgia's top court.
Melican wheeled Strother into his lawyer's office before he died in 2004 to overhaul his will. Strother's family claimed Melican shouldn't get the $1.36 million proceeds from the sale of the condo, and a probate judge agreed.
But the Georgia Supreme Court reversed the ruling, finding that Melican had the rights to the condo under Florida law.
