TALLAHASSEE — While
Florida State University football coach
Jimbo Fisher‘s hot ex-wife walked away from their marriage with at least $3.4 million and $4,500-a-month in support for the couple’s two young boys, according divorce papers obtained by
Gossip Extra, she could have made a valid argument for a share of the 50-year-old coach’s paycheck until his retirement.
And with Jimbo pulling $5 million-plus a year,
Candi Fisher apparently let him off the hook easy.
In Seminole terms, you could say she wuz scalped!
While the media in Tallahassee failed to report on Fisher’s divorce, which became final Dec. 10,
Gossip Extra broke the story last week and
identified two men with whom the coach suspected his wife of cheating: Former University of Florida and NFL receiver
Taylor Jacobs, who at 34 is 12 years younger than Candi, and former FSU tennis star
Owen Long, who’s 19 years her junior.
— That should be reason enough for anyone to sign up for our daily news alerts!
According to court papers, Candi was asked to produce emails and text messages that she either sent or received from the men by Dec. 9.
She never did because, hours later, the divorce papers were signed.

The settlement is confidential. However, our analysis of briefs and motions that are public as well as interviews with two campus sources close to the Fishers show Candi signed off on a deal that made Jimbo the clear winner of this game.
Briefs in the case show she received $3.4 million in asset distributions and slightly more than one fourth of the $16,000-a-month she wanted for child support.
Candi also received a few hundred thousand in alimony but failed to ask for a piece of Jimbo’s paychecks until his retirement, which could be 15 to 20 years in the future.
We asked Candi’s lawyer, Tally attorney
Shannon Novey, why that wasn’t done despite the fact such deals are common in Florida. We also asked her how the shadows of Jacobs and Long influenced the case.
Novey isn’t commenting, outside of emailing statements asking for privacy and describing the divorce as “amicable” and “confidential,” and
Gossip Extra as “disgraceful” for asking questions.
This much is sure, though: Candi was asking for quite a bit of money earlier this fall!
She wanted $13.4 million in asset distribution and $200,000 a year in child support.
She also began questioning “the nature and valuation” of Jimbo’s FSU contract, according to the papers, and Jimbo’s purchase of a $480,000-farm in West Virginia and $140,000 in farm equipment without her knowledge.
She also objected to Jimbo moving nearly $3 million out of their joint bank accounts and not leaving her enough to run the household and pay her legal bills.
“All of the parties’ liquid marital assets and earnings are under the sole control and dominion of the husband,” one of her motions reads.
In the financial affidavit she filed, Candi described herself as a housewife with no income despite her bachelor’s degree in education — and $29,000 a month in expenses.

She told the court her household and food bills come to about $9,218 a month. She claimed personal expenses of about $12,000 a month, including $1,165 for clothes and shoes, and $4,000 for travels.
Total monthly bills for Candi: $29,655!
Her papers also show Jimbo made $4,1250,714 last year plus a bonus of $82,812.
The couple’s assets were estimated at $9,386,396, including the couple’s marital home and dozens of investment accounts.
A source close to Candi, meanwhile, told us Candi signed after
John T. Christiansen, Jimbo’s West Palm Beach lawyer, started making noise about her alleged relationships with Jacobs and Long.
“She didn’t want this out in the open,” the source said. “She could’ve held out for more, but anything having to do with Taylor and Long could’ve opened a serious can of worms.”
