Millions of dollars in cash advances that media and real estate magnate Harry Chandler’s great grandson received from his parents during his 20-year marriage shouldn’t be counted in determining spousal support, according to a California appeals court.
A panel of the 2d District Court of Appeal concluded that the money from Frederick Williamson’s parents, which supported his lavish lifestyle, were gifts, not loans, but that its finding didn’t matter because his parents had cut off the money just prior to his divorce from Mary Kate Williamson.
