Ed Orgeron Divorce Decision 

The ex-wife gets a share of the buyout money due to the buyout clause being included in his contract LOI while the marriage existed, as community property, as
opposed to it accruing to him upon payout, after the marriage ended.

Is there an argument to be made that the Louisiana Supreme Court decision, vis a vis their interpretation of LA's community property law statutes, impairs
Orgeron's constitutional rights under the contracts clause?

There's a lot of money at stake and I'm wondering whether Orgeron's attorneys will file a Federal appeal, and I'm just thinking about the arguments they might
make.

Man, that sucks. The school board didn't even approve the contract until after the divorce proceedings had begun.  Thus, it wasn't binding until after the date
of separation.  This is a tough one.  Why couldn't they just give her less by apportioning the award between them pro rata, or under the time rule?  No
possibility of Federal appeal in my opinion...no Federal rights at issue, and the Article III courts specifically exclude domestic matters...sorry
Ed!
