LOS ANGELES (AP) — A judge is scheduled to hear closing arguments in the Jamie and Frank McCourt divorce trial that could decide the ownership of the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The trial is set to resume Wednesday in Los Angeles.

At issue is whether a postnuptial marital agreement signed by the couple in 2004 is valid under California law. The 10-page document gives Frank McCourt the team, the stadium and the surrounding land.

However, during the trial it was revealed the couple signed two different versions, one that included the Dodgers as Frank McCourt’s separate asset, and three that didn’t.

Gordon has 90 days to decide whether Frank McCourt is the team’s sole owner or if the pact should be thrown out and the couple’s assets divided under California’s community property law. He also could order the sale of the team.
