Only in California: a divorce was filed in Orange county, California, by a woman whose domainer husband engaged aggressively in gTLD domain registrations and other activity that damaged their joint finances.
This incredible case sets a new standard to the reasons someone raises, when divorcing their spouse.
Milly R., of Escondido is divorcing Enrique – her husband of 25 years – citing the latter’s aggressive engagement with the new gTLD market.
The divorce was filed last week, just as dot .Black was about to be launched.
According to the divorce filing, Enrique had “threatened to register at least 4,000 dot .Black domain names as a safe investment, using the jointly owned credit cards, after maxing out his personal ones.”
Judge Perry Lamon of California offers this advice:
“Prior to getting involved in any type of financially insecure investment, married couples should agree on the particulars, and have this in writing in order to prevent unpleasant situations that can lead to separation or even divorce.”
The couple will now have to split several thousand domain names registered using their joint credit cards, as part of the property to be divided.
