Data about Michael Douglas and Diandra Luker from Divorce Records
After 23 years of being together, Diandra Luker filed for divorce in
2000 citing irreconcilable differences as the main cause. Luker
complained about several things in the part of Douglas which resulted
to the deterioration of their relationship. She stated that Douglas was
becoming more difficult to contact and communicate with since he
started playing bigger roles in the eighties and early nineties.
Also, there were constantly reports of her husband having extramarital
affairs. In public divorce records, she stated that while she was at
home caring for their son, Cameron, Douglas would be working late
nights or out of the state shooting films which put great pressure on
their time together.
They would also have fights regarding money and how Douglas wants
things done in the house which is at most times opposite of what Luker
feels and thinks. Douglas would have sudden bursts of anger and
reportedly had a short temper. It was difficult approaching him or
complaining about things after he comes home from work looking tired
and stressed.
In divorce records search, although Douglas is very charitable and
generous, he is also a great force to be reckoned with in the house.
Luker did not find any justification from her husband on the reports of
womanizing that she had when he was away which led her to her final
decision. She asked for the massive settlement for spousal support.
Douglas said he already felt things deteriorating in the nineties which
caused them to separate in 1995.
Divorce Records Aftermath
Douglas paid the settlement which was
worth half of his total net worth at the time. He admits that he was
traumatized by the $45-million settlement which may have influenced his
decision to have a prenuptial agreement before he married his current wife,
actress Catherine Zeta Jones.
Now the actor has two more children from the
Belgian beauty Jones and is highly active in charitable works and the film
industry. Cameron Douglas was already an adult when his parents divorced so no
child support was needed although his father still sees him regularly. Douglas and
Luker remain neutral in their friendship according to divorce records. Their
divorce would be the first for both of them.
