David Arquette may be behaving like a 20-something by partying and granting tell-alls in the wake of his divorce, but he’s allegedly not going to be at all petty when it comes to dividing the couple’s assets. Bill Zwecker at the Chicago Sun Times has some insider information that suggest that Arquette is not going to try and get his hands on any of Cox’s Friends’ money and will be content with his own millions, thank you very much. When you’re dealing with that much money maybe you can afford to be generous, but it’s still nice and speaks to his character – especially since Courteney is the one who did the dumping. Here’s the report, which includes the detail that Courteney is worth something like $100 million.
Cyberspace is all abuzz with wild estimates — as much as $50 million — of what David Arquette will collect if he and Courteney Cox go ahead, as expected, and finalize a divorce.
But that’s not what I’m hearing!
Yes, Cox’s net worth supposedly is in the $100 million neighborhood (due to all that “Friends” moolah). And yes, California is a community property state.
Yet, while in L.A. over the weekend, I spoke with sources close to the couple — who are trashing those tales.
Seems Arquette has told pals he and Cox have no quarrels over splitting the $$$ — if they divorce — and long have had carefully detailed financial agreements in place in the event of a marital bust-up.
The actor also told a longtime pal the other day, “I have no interest in Courteney’s money. I have my own money. I don’t care about that. We’re cool on the financial stuff and are totally focused on [their daughter] Coco.”

That’s really big of David to keep it civil and try and divide things according to what they separately earned. It wouldn’t hurt him to be a little more ambitious when it comes to what he’s asking for though. He contributed to the marriage and helped raise their daughter. These two even went into business together with their own production company, which is currently responsible for Cougar Town. I wonder how they’re going to divide that company and their responsibilities now that they’re splitting up. Maybe they’ll still work together. They certainly seem to be keeping things friendly.
Maybe David thinks that by keeping the divorce on good terms he’ll still have a chance to win back Courteney.
