Los Angeles -- The couple battling over ownership of the Los Angeles Dodgers failed to settled their differences in a marathon mediation settlement, a court officer says.

Allan Parachini, public information officer for the Los Angeles Superior Court, said Frank and Jamie McCourt did not plan to negotiate during the weekend, the Los Angeles Times reported. The couple and their lawyers spent 10 hours at the courthouse Friday.

The couple's divorce trial enters its third week Monday.

Los Angeles -- Jamie McCourt is seeking to void an agreement that may block her from claiming a piece of the Los Angeles Dodgers in her divorce, court documents indicated.

Jamie McCourt, who formally filed for divorce from Dodgers owner Frank McCourt Tuesday, contended the agreement they signed in 2004 naming Frank McCourt sole owner of the Dodgers was invalid and unenforceable.

Frank McCourt responded with documents he contends trump California's community property laws, which would give his estranged with a 50 percent stake in the team.
