Here is the whole complaint.

This is a copy of the lawsuit filed by Mrs. Donald Sterling against V. Stiviano. She alleges that Mr. Sterling transferred more than $2.5 million to the girlfriend. She wants it back because it was community property and Mr. Sterling transferred it without her consent.

There are even quiet title and reformation of deed counts, meaning that Mrs. Sterling wants to take Stiviano's house because it was purchased with community property. That would be an interesting eviction proceeding once Mrs. Sterling gets title to that property.

This is how the plaintiff sums it up: "This lawsuit involves the activities of Defendant Stiviano, who, Plaintiff is informed and believes and thereon alleges, engages in conduct designed to target, befriend, seduce, and then entice, cajole, borrow from, cheat, and/or receive as gifts transfers of wealth from wealthy older men whom she targets for such purpose."

That must be how lawyers who charge $1,000 per hour write.

The Mrs. Donald Sterling v. V. Stiviano Lawsuit

The Donald Sterling recording has been all over the news recently. Supposedly, the tape was released by V. Stiviano to gain leverage in a lawsuit that was filed against her by Donald Sterling's wife, Rochelle Sterling. Mrs. Sterling alleges that Mr. Sterling gave V. Stiviano more than $2 million in marital funds, including a $1.8 million townhouse, $240,000 in cash, and more than $500,000 in vehicles, including two Bentleys, a Range Rover, and a Ferrari. Mrs. Sterling wants her money back.

I'm still trying to locate a full copy of this complaint, but I do have the first page. Illinois is not a community property state, so I am not familiar with the law behind Mrs. Sterling's theories, but the titles of all ten counts are spelled out pretty clearly on this first page. You'll see counts for conversion, constructive trust, unjust enrichment, etc. If anyone has a copy of the full document, please let me know.
