Strahan ordered to abide by prenup, pay $15.3M
NEWARK, N.J. -- New York Giants star Michael Strahan was ordered to pay his ex-wife $15.3 million -- more than half his net worth -- in keeping with the couple's prenuptial agreement.

Under the agreement, Jean Strahan was entitled to 50 percent of their joint marital assets and 20 percent of his yearly income from each year they were married.
"She's grateful to the court," Jean Strahan's lawyer, Ellen Marshall, told The Associated Press on Saturday. "She looks forward to her future, raising their children and moving forward."
A call to Michael Strahan's attorney, Robert Penza, and his agent, Tony Agnone, were not immediately returned.
The NFL star had contended he wasn't responsible for the 20 percent because his wife failed to ask for it every year. But state Superior Court Judge James Convery disagreed, ruling "the plaintiff is not credible in his claim that the defendant never asked for her separate funds."
In addition to the $15.3 million, Convery awarded Jean Strahan hundreds of thousands of dollars in child support. The couple married in 1999.

[SIZE=-1]Jean Strahan[/SIZE]Michael Strahan's nasty divorce trial hit a new low yesterday - as his estranged wife suggested the Giants sack king and handsome married TV doctor Ian Smith are more than just friends.
After the couple's marriage collapsed, "Michael moved into Ian's one-bedroom apartment," Jean Strahan told reporters after another bruising day in divorce court.
"And you can say an alternative lifestyle sprouted," she added, though her lawyer stopped her before she could elaborate.
The blond mother of two dropped the bombshell after the burly gridiron great made her cry in court when he testified that he couldn't remember her birthday. "He basically denied we ever existed," Jean Strahan, 41, said angrily. "It was devastating to hear." Michael Strahan himself hinted at some controversy when he said in court that he wasn't sure whether one of his love letters was addressed to "Jean" or "John."

Strahan tells court biz trips were really for pleasure
Giants sack king Michael Strahan conceded at his divorce trial yesterday that he vacationed with at least three different girlfriends last year on jaunts he tried to mask as business trips.
Jean Strahan confirmed that her hubby used a hidden camera to peep at her sister.
The affable lineman at first tried to claim he had jetted out with lovelies Lindsay Dierling and Teresa Higgonbothom on business.
But under questioning, he confessed that a trip to St. Maarten with Higgonbothom last July was all fun and games.
"That was pleasure," he said, with a smirk.
Jean Strahan's lawyer, Ellen Marshall, quizzed him about a jaunt last August with Dierling, which he also first said was business-related.
"What kind of business was it?" Marshall asked. "That's our business," the grid great quipped.
