It should not come as a shock that when Terry Bollea (wrestler Hulk Hogan) filed his reply to his wife’s divorce petition, he contested several of her requests. Let me remind you, though, that Linda’s petition was absolutely standard for a Florida divorce. She did not ask for anything that the state law does not entitle her.

Hulk states in his filing that Linda can support herself and can afford to help support their minor child, Nick. He also states that Nick is old enough to decide on his own whom he will live with and which home will be his primary residence. He is asking for shared parental responsibility. That is a very likely outcome under Florida law, where the courts like to make a point of not favoring the mother. He agrees that the couple’s assets and liabilities should be split equally.

The divorce filings come on the tail of Nick Bollea’s charges of reckless driving involving serious bodily injury. His August 26 car accident in Clearwater left his friend, John Graziano, incapacitated. Graziano is at this point expected to spend the rest of his life unable to care for himself.

Many have speculated that since the Graziano famly has stated they plan to sue the Bollea family, the divorce is simply a way to tie up family assets for the time being. On the other hand, the Bollea family has gone through so much internal stress lately that relationship are sure to be strained. It’s anyone’s guess.
