Hulk Hogan may have been taken by surprise by the news of his wife’s filling for divorce, but he surely got prepared now. He filed a counter-petition to the divorce suit and challenged all his wife’s claims thoroughly.

Terry Bollea, the renowned wrestler began by correcting the marriage date Linda Bollea written on her petition, his December 18 winning over her December 12, according to public records. He went on to contest her alimony and custody requests.

The couple who has been co-starring in VH-1’s reality show called “Hogan Knows Best” has been separated since September. Divorce possibilities and reconciliation were subject of the show several times, however it became official and clear when Linda Bollea,48, filed for divorce.

She claims an unspecified amount of alimony and child support and is also seeking the custody of their son, reckless driver Nick, who will turn 18 in July. On the other hand, Terry sustains that his wife is able to support both her and their son highlighting also that Nick is mature enough to choose with which parent he will live, suggesting that a shared parental responsibility would be the best.

The family assets, worth more than $9.5 million in real-estate holdings are also subject of sharing. Hogan highlighted there are “numerous liabilities, contingent liabilities, obligations and debts which must be resolved as part of any equitable distribution that may be accomplished by the court,” the properties being asserted for tax purposes of $7.953-million.

The Hogans also encounter difficulty in best defending their son, who is facing a felony charge of reckless driving, after he collided with a tree with his Toyota Supra, leaving his passenger John Graziano with severe brain injuries. The police said that Nick might have been involved in an illegal race, however he sustains that he hit a standing water and hydroplaned, engendering the accident.
