Judge deciding McGreevey divorce case

ELIZABETH, N.J. (AP) - June 4, 2008

Lawyers for Dina Matos and Jim McGreevey finished summations Wednesday, laying the conflicting arguments and financial statements in the hands of Superior Court Judge Karen Cassidy.

Cassidy says she won't rule until at least July.

Earlier, McGreevey's lawyer accused his estranged wife's expert of using "imaginary numbers" to come up with the gay ex-governor's earning potential.

Meanwhile, Matos' lawyer called McGreevey's poverty claim a "contrived farce," saying McGreevey chooses not to earn more to avoid paying alimony.

The 50-year-old seminary student says he's too poor to pay alimony.

Matos is asking for $2,500 a month in alimony for four years and $1,750 a month in support for their 6-year-old daughter.
