In court papers filed Monday, the former NBA referee asked for "temporary and permanent exclusive use and possession" of the six-bedroom house on the King's Dune course at the Lakewood Ranch Golf and Country Club in Bradenton, Fla.

Kimberly Donaghy filed for divorce last month in Manatee County Court, stating that her husband's "voluntary actions have resulted in his loss of income."

Donaghy resigned as a referee in July and pleaded guilty in August to felony charges of conspiring to commit wire fraud and conspiring to transmit gambling information across state lines. His job paid $260,000 a year.

Donaghy is out on bail as he awaits his Nov. 9 sentencing in federal court in Brooklyn, N.Y. He faces up to 25 years in prison and $500,000 in fines. Two alleged conspirators from the Philadelphia suburbs have also been charged.

Kimberly Donaghy is asking the court to take jurisdiction over their house and grant her exclusive use of the house if the couple is unable to live together during the divorce proceedings.

She is also requesting a "disproportionate share of the assets based on the actions of [Tim Donaghy] and the manner in which they have impacted the family finances and financial resources for the future." In his response, Donaghy asked the judge to take into account their 1995 prenuptial agreement when distributing the assets.

There is no mention in the divorce papers of Cheryl Wolfe-Ruiz, the Phoenix sports-bar owner with whom Donaghy reportedly had a romantic relationship. *
