What’s the cost of sticking by your husband during his high-profile murder trial, even though he’s verbally abusive?

According to Shellie Zimmerman, half of what her husband, George Zimmerman, is worth. She filed for divorce from the man she was married to for nearly seven years last week.

The wife of the former neighborhood watch volunteer who shot and killed Trayvon Martin is asking for equal distribution of the checking accounts, trusts, partnerships and any unknown assets of Zimmerman’s.

That includes any money that may come in from the defamation lawsuit Zimmerman and lawyers filed against NBC last year.

In addition, Shellie is asking that George pay for a permanent life insurance policy with her named as the beneficiary since he has “the financial ability to obtain such life insurance at reasonable rates.”

But there’s one other thing. Shellie, who said George left her with a shattered life, wants custody of the couple’s 2-year-old Rottweiler, Oso, and an 8-year-old mixed breed dog named Leroy.

Which means things could get ugly. Money is one thing…but puppies? At least the two don’t have any kids.
