BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — Former LSU head coach “Ed” Orgeron’s ex-wife was awarded $8.13 million of Orgeron’s settlement with the university.
The Louisiana Supreme Court ruled in favor of Kelly Orgeron. She sued to claim a portion of Orgeron’s $16.9 million settlement after his contract with LSU was terminated without cause in 2021.
She argued that the terms of the settlement were made during their marriage, making it community property. In Louisiana, community property refers to assets acquired during a marriage and is owned equally by both spouses. In the event of a divorce or the death of a spouse, the property is divided.
The Court emphasized that the binding term sheet and employment agreement were in effect as of January 14, 2020, before the divorce filing.
Orgeron filed a request with LSU to alter the effective date of the Binding Contract from Jan. 14, 2020, to April 23, 2020. The Court viewed this as “an audacious, nearly fraudulent attempt to move the effective contract date away from that which had been created and existed during the community property regime.”
Kelly will be given $8,134,500, or half of Orgeron’s settlement.
