An Illinois lawyer has sued a man unhappy with his divorce for defamatory comments posted online, court records say.

Paul Nordini represented Joe LaBarre's wife in the divorce case, reported WBBM-TV on Thursday. Nordini reportedly wants more than $100,000 in damages.

LaBarre posted a negative review on Nordini's law firm on Google Plus. He told the local TV station that he's not concerned over the lawsuit.

Nordini holds his law practice in Naperville which is approximately 40 minutes to the west of Chicago.

Associated Press

A judge denied a motion Monday by former Dodgers CEO Jamie McCourt to throw out a $131 million divorce settlement that she argued was invalid because she believes she was misled about the value of the team that was later sold for $2 billion.

Jamie McCourt didn't present enough evidence to show that she should get more than what she received in the settlement reached with former husband and ex-Dodgers owner Frank McCourt, Superior Court Judge Scott Gordon said in his 57-page ruling.
 
She contended her ex-husband short-changed her $770 million by misrepresenting the Dodgers' assets during their divorce and believes Frank McCourt knew the true value all along.

(CNN) -- A woman in Montana is accused of pushing her husband off a cliff after an argument. The pair had been married for just more than a week.
 
Jordan Linn Graham made an initial appearance in court Monday to face a charge of second-degree murder. If convicted, she faces life in prison.
 
According to a criminal complaint, Graham recently told a friend she was having second thoughts about marrying Cody L. Johnson. CNN affiliate KECI reported the couple had been married for just more than a week.
 
The complaint said the couple argued the night of July 7. Upset, they decided to go hiking in Glacier National Park in Flathead County, Montana, where they continued to fight.
