CLEARWATER, Fla. (AP) - Hulk Hogan's wife said in a divorce petition that she wants a share of the family's two multimillion-dollar Florida properties plus alimony and child support for their 17-year-old son.

Linda Bollea filed for divorce from Hogan - whose real name is Terry Bollea - last week after 24 years of marriage. The petition says the marriage is "irretrievably broken."

The marital assets that need to be equitably divided include the nearly 17,000-square-foot mansion in Belleair where the family lives and a 3,474-square-foot home on Clearwater Beach.

Pinellas County records place the market value of the Belleair mansion at more than $7.2 million and the Clearwater house at more than $2.2 million. The Bolleas also have a condominium under construction in Las Vegas.

Linda Bollea also seeks an unspecified amount for alimony and child support for their 17-year-old son, Nick, who was arrested this month in connection with a traffic crash that left a passenger with severe brain injuries.

Her attorney declined to comment.

The Bolleas have starred for four seasons in the VH1 reality show "Hogan Knows Best," which chronicles the lives of the famous wrestler and his family, including daughter Brooke, 19.

Terry Bollea, 54, told a reporter last week that the divorce filing caught him "off guard," saying his wife has been in California for the past few weeks.
