On January 13, Camille Grammar filed a legal declaration contesting Kelsey Grammar’s divorce court request for an expedited divorce.  If Kelsey’s request were granted, it would allow him to marry his current fiancée, while setting property distribution from his marriage to Camille to a later date.

According to Camille’s declaration, the quick divorce may negatively affect her community property rights.  Her accountant estimates that their marital estate is worth around $120 million.

Camille starred in the first season of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, a reality television show.  She was a former dancer and model.  Kelsey Grammer is an accomplished stage and television actor, most known for his roles in Cheers and Frasier.  Together, they own a production company.

They have been married since 1997 and have two children together.

Family Code section 2337 allows a California court to grant a divorce quickly, while resolving other issues related to the divorce, such as child custody and property distribution, at a later date.  This will allow an estranged spouse to marry another person without having to wait for long, complicated divorce proceedings to conclude.  Since Camille and Kelsey have a large marital estate which is assumed to include trusts, businesses, and properties, it will take a significant amount of time to distribute their entire marital estate.
