SADDLE RIVER NEW JERSEY BERGEN COUNTY DIVORCE MEDIATION

An energy magnate's estranged wife was awarded $184 million in what appears to be one of the biggest divorce verdicts in history. Citing irreconcilable differences, Maya Polsky, a 55-year-old art gallery owner, filed for divorce from her husband, Michael Polsky, in 2003. The couple married in 1975 in Kiev, Ukraine, then part of the Soviet Union. They arrived in the United States in 1976 with 4 suitcases and $500 in cash.  The husband later launched the company that eventually sold in 2000 for about $450 million. The president of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers said he wasn't aware of a bigger divorce award in the United States.  June 26, 2007
