Amber Heard keeps smuggled pet pooches in Johnny Depp divorce
Amber Heard will keep the two dogs which she and her then-husband Johnny Depp smuggled into Australia in 2015 as part of the former couple's divorce agreement.
Los Angeles Judge Carl Moor put an end to the Hollywood stars' divorce drama in court on Friday (13Jan17) by finalizing their split, eight months after The Danish Girl actress first moved to call it quits on their 15-month marriage.
The split turned particularly nasty when Heard accused Depp of
being physically and verbally abusive during their union, and
despite reaching a $7 million settlement in August (16), the legal
process dragged on as the two parties continued to make allegations
against one another in court.
However, on Friday, Judge Moor insisted the complaints amounted to
nothing more than "bickering back and forth" between the pair, and
ruled the $7 million deal will stand as he signed off on the
divorce.
Legal representatives for both sides celebrated the news, with
Depp's attorney Laura Wasser telling TMZ, "We are all pleased to
put this unpleasant chapter in Mr. Depp and his family's lives
behind them. Having his request for entry of dissolution judgment
granted today made it a particularly lucky Friday the 13th."
Now details regarding the division of assets have been revealed,
with Depp getting to keep all of his properties worldwide, as well
as 42 of his vehicles, ranging from motorbikes to cars and
boats.
As for Heard, in addition to her hefty financial settlement, which
she plans to donate to charity, she was granted two cars - a 2015
Range Rover and a 1968 Ford Mustang, a horse named Arrow, and the
pair's pet dogs, Pistol and Boo - the Yorkshire terriers which
landed the actors in trouble with authorities Down Under, where
Depp was filming the next Pirates of the Caribbean movie.
She will receive the first post-divorce settlement payment of $1
million from Depp later this month (Jan17), followed by another
four instalments, before his final check for $2.3 million in
February, 2018.
He previously handed over $200,000 after striking the deal in
August.
The funds will all be donated to the American Civil Liberties
Union's (ACLU) domestic violence unit and the Children's Hospital
of Los Angeles.
