Ex-running back Tucker Frederickson tackled by divorce

Tucker and Sherry, in happier days

Former New York Giants first-round draft pick and north county developer Tucker Frederickson has been hit by a divorce filing.

His wife of 22 years and the mother of his four children, homemaker Sherry Frederickson, filed in Palm Beach County family court last month and alleges that he squandered marital assets on people other than her.

Sherry, 51, claims her relationship with the college football hall of famer has undergone “an irretrievable breakdown” and their marital bond was severed.

She also accuses Tucker, 68, an All-American at Auburn University in 1964, of “dissipating assets by conferring them upon associates, relatives, paramours.”

Said Sherry’s attorney, Stuart’s Josh Ferraro: “We’re hoping we can resolve this matter quickly and quietly.”

Tucker’s lawyer didn’t return calls for comment but his response to the divorce petition shows he denies wasting marital dollars and keeping galpals.

Still, Sherry wants “a disproportionate” share of the marital assets because she always depended on Tucker for financial support.

She also wants the couple’s $1.5 million home at Seminole Landing, the fancy North Palm Beach community that golfer Tiger Woods‘ ex-wife, Elin Nordegren, now calls home.

Top Palm Beach County lawyer John Christiansen, who specializes in high-profile divorces, is now his own client.

The 66-year-old Christiansen, a 30-year courtroom veteran, filed for divorce in Palm Beach County after nearly 22 years of marriage, his third and the wife’s second.

Dr. Susan Christiansen, Susie to her friends, is a 52-year-old clinical psychologist who specializes in marriage and family issues.

She was tapped last year to star on a Real Housewives-style show filmed in Palm Beach. The pilot was filmed at philanthropist George Cloutier’s Palm Beach home but the project was shelved.

Susie has yet to respond to John’s petition.

But this much is clear: She could end up with nothing!

Jupiter richie rich Peter DeGeorge made news lately because he and his brother are suing each other over their dead father’s $200 million-fortune.

But that battle may not be Peter’s only problem.

DeGeorge, 63, was arrested at the Ritz-Carlton in Miami Beach after a nasty fight with his fetching ex-wife Traci, 44.

The two, by the way, are engaged to be remarried! Their split in a Palm Beach County court was final two years ago.

Telling cops “my lawyer is Roy Black,” DeGeorge was hauled off to jail two weeks ago and charged with battery, according to Miami-Dade County records.

Traci told Miami Beach cops summoned to their suite that she saw text-messages between Peter and an ex-girlfriend on his cell phone. That led to an argument.

Red Cross boss Larry Casey resigns

For the second time since 2007, the Palm Beach area chapter of the Red Cross is losing its CEO after a brief tenure.

Larry Casey, the visible frontman of the disaster-responding charity, told Page2Live he’ll step down on April 9. He has been leading the non-profit’s branch, which reaches into the Treasure Coast and cuts across Florida to the west coast, for just 20 months.

Casey took the reins from J.B. Hunt, who was fired in 2008 because she made it a habit to take decisions without discussing them with the board.

About his departure, Casey said he is looking for a change in his career. And he’s taking in a teenage family member, with whom he plans to spend more time.

Privately, according to an insider, Casey had expressed frustration with the American Red Cross’ current drive to take more control of local chapters.

And then, Casey always seemed more at ease in one of his previous jobs, as longtime aide to former Republican U.S. Rep. E. Clay Shaw.

“It’s just the right time to go,” Casey said. “Hurricane season is still a few months away and the chapter will have time to find someone else.
