NASCAR crew chief executive Brian France said in court documents that his former wife spent a "staggering" amount of his fortune on her family and friends according to the Associated Press.
His wife, Megan France, said her former husband spent little time with their children and became "verbally abusive" when he didn't get his way at home.
A number of different court documents unsealed on May 7 showed new details about the couple's second divorce. The couple's first marriage lasted from 2001 until 2004 and they were married again in 2005 until 2008 according the Associated Press.
France's lawyers tried their best to keep the records confidential, to no avail. Several news organizations argued that those documents were public records, and a North Carolina appeals court finally agreed last year.
Approximately 3,000 pages of documents were released this week, including dozens of court motions, depositions and emails.
According to statements in open court, the couple's 2008 separation agreement included paying Megan France $9 million, alimony of $32,000 a month for 10 years and $10,000 a month in child support according to the documents released.
A 2005 financial statement included in the court documents showed he had $564 million in total assets, including stock and real estate, and that he was likely to inherit ''substantial wealth from his parents,'' which could exceed $1 billion according to the Associated Press.
Megan said she was the primary caregiver for their twin children born in 2006.
France's ex said in the records that she was trying to create a stable home for them in Charlotte, while France spent most of his time in Daytona Beach, F.L., where the headquarters for NASCAR is located.
''Brian has demanded that I make the children available whenever and wherever he desires,'' she said in a March 2, 2011 affidavit. ''He expects me and the children to be at his 'beck and call' regardless of the specific terms of the agreement.''
Megan said that when her former husband didn't agree with something, he would "punish" her, including withholding money.
In one case, court records claim Brian France failed to pay $52,000 in governess expenses from August 2008 through February 2009. He also failed to give her $3 million that she was due on Jan. 1, 2009, according to the records.
''Brian becomes verbally abusive when I will not follow his dictates...I believe Brian is continuing to try to punish me for not being willing to change the terms we agreed to in the agreement because he is now unhappy with them,'' she said in the documents.
