Thierry Henry warns ex-wife: 'You won't get your hands on my £10m'
See you in court: Thierry Henry has hired top lawyers to fight ex-wife Claire Merry's claim on his £10million fortune.
Thierry Henry is facing a messy divorce battle after he told his ex-wife to keep her hands off his cash. The formal Arsenal striker warned Claire Merry her reported demands for $10m pound were unrealistic and she should prepare for a tough time in court.
Merry, 27, a former model, was granted a quickie divorce from Henry, 30, last September after she found raunchy texts on his phone and he went on dates with make-up artist Sadie Hewlett.
Merry and Henry, married for four years, met in 2001 while filming a Renault Clio advert and have a twoyearold daughter, Tea.
After the divorce was granted for his " unreasonable behaviour", Merry, from Croydon, vowed to take the FC Barcelona star - said to be worth £25million - to the cleaners. She is demanding a settlement based on his earnings. It includes money from his ad deals with Pringles and McDonald's and a cut of the £5.9million marital home in Hampstead, North London.
In 2004, ex-wife of England and Arsenal star Ray Parlour won maintenance amounting to more than a third of his future income. In the initial settlement, Karen Parlour was given two mortgage-free houses worth more than £1million and a £250,000 lump sum.
But she was told by the Court of Appeal her award of £250,000 a year personal maintenance would go up to £406,500 and be reviewed in four years.
Henry has hired London lawyers Mishcon de Reya, who represented Princess Diana and Heather Mills in their divorce battles.

Her wife is a model, it's not like she is not financially-able enough to support herself.
WTF, divorce = man should give woman money ... law should change.
True, this law must change liao... Women already have earning power by themselves.Men better think twice before getting married. If possible, just a visit to geyland to trench lust. don't get married due to lust.
