| TampaBay.com: CLEARWATER - As if the family's affairs weren't complicated enough, it now appears that Terry and Linda Bollea, also known as Mr. and Mrs. Hulk Hogan, are heading to divorce court. Pinellas County court records show that Linda Marie Bollea, 48, filed a petition for dissolution of marriage from Terry Gene Bollea, 54, on Tuesday. She is represented by Largo attorney Elliot Jay Goldstein. In an e-mail, Goldstein said: "As this is a very personal matter for the Bolleas and their children, Mrs. Bollea has understandably requested that no further comment be given." |

| Linda Bollea is seeking an equitable split of assets she owns with husband, Terry Bollea, including two Pinellas County properties that together could fetch an estimated $9.485-million. In her divorce petition, which was filed Tuesday in Pinellas Pasco Circuit Court, Linda Bollea also proposes that parental responsibility for their minor son, Nick, be shared. She asks that Nick's primary residence be with her, subject to "liberal visitation" with his father. In addition, Linda Bollea seeks: - An unspecified amount of alimony and child support. - That Terry Bollea, also known as Hulk Hogan from his days as a professional wrestler, pay for Nick's health insurance. - That Terry Bollea take out a life insurance policy to cover child support for Nick, if necessary. The marital assets that need to be equitably divided include the nearly 17,000-square-foot mansion on Willadel Drive in Belleair where the family lives and a 3,474-square-foot home on Eldorado Avenue on Clearwater Beach. Together, the properties are assessed for tax purposes at a total of $7.953-million. But based on comparable sales from 2005-06, the Pinellas County Property Appraiser's Office estimates that the Belleair mansion would sell for $7.247-million and the Eldorado Avenue house would sell for $2.238-million. Linda Bollea's divorce petition says that neither property is "believed to be subject to any mortgages." The divorce petition also says the Bolleas are "under contract for a condominium currently being constructed in Las Vegas, Nevada." If the two sides cannot reach an amicable split of their marital assets, then the properties "should be partitioned and sold," according to the suit. |
