Judge asks Hopper family to put aside differences

This article is about the legendary actor Dennis Hopper and his divorce battle with his current wife Victoria Hopper. Dennis is seriously ill from cancer and stating that being in close proximity with his wife is hastening the effects of the disease. He has been ordered to provide spousal support and child support for their six year old daughter, Galen.

This article touches on law aspects with that there is a judge dictating how the money will be split among the Hoppers. The judge is also asking the Hopper family to put aside their differences for the sake of the six year old because she will most likely lose her father shortly. Also, the judge is suggesting that the Hopper’s use a third party to help settle their differences.

I feel really bad for the young daughter. Her father is pretty much dying in front of her, her family is fighting over his money before he is even in a casket and her mother, Victoria, seems like a money-grabber. I would just like to know why Dennis didn’t have a prenuptial agreement with his wife. I just believe that, in a way, marriage is a business agreement. Of course you are supposed to love your spouse and care about them. But, it’s also an agreement that ‘you will complete ABC and I will do XYZ’. Apparently Dennis feels that Victoria isn’t completing her end of the bargain, so he wants a divorce. These celebrities are very confusing.

  1. I think the families need to drop the differences since their is a serious matter happening between the two and the fact that Dennis Hopper is slowing dying and people are fighting for his money is showing a great deal of disrespect to Dennis and everything he has worked for in his life.

  2. I think their needs to be some mediation going on with this family! Dennis Hopper is dying, his wife wants to get everything she can, and the daughter is caught in the middle. Obviouslt Dennis does not have much time, so his wife should put aside her greed for her daughter and worry about they money when he is gone.
