McCourts headed back to court over reinstatement

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Jamie McCourt is headed back to a Los Angeles courtroom seeking reinstatement as the Dodgers chief executive after she was fired by her husband and team owner Frank McCourt.

A hearing is scheduled Thursday where a court commissioner will likely hear arguments about whether Jamie McCourt should be given her job back because of her claims that she co-owns the Dodgers.

She also wants more than $300,000 in spousal support and perks such as travel by private jet if she's reinstated.

Jamie McCourt filed for divorce last month, citing irreconcilable differences. The couple had been married for 30 years.

Frank McCourt says he fired his estranged wife because she was having an affair with her bodyguard and doing a poor job.
