Mrs. Hecker Ask for Support

(AP) The estranged wife of former auto mogul Denny Hecker does not believe his claim of poverty. Tamitha Hecker is asking the court to award her $7,500 a month in spousal support. She says anyone who can spend $23 thousand on a Hawaiian vacation, and $250 thousand on a defense lawyer, can pay her support.

Hecker filed for bankruptcy after his auto empire collapsed. He is the object of a Federal Grand Jury investigation.
