Dennis and Victoria met in the early 90s at a restaurant where she worked as a waitress. They married in 1996, but had a tumultuous relationship. Dennis filed for divorce in January 2010. Victoria knew that she had been cut out of the her husband’s will and argued that the divorce settlements didn’t provide enough money for her to raise Galen, their only child.
