CLEARWATER, Fla. - Hulk Hogan said in a court filing that his wife, who has filed for divorce, can support herself and can help support their 17-year-old son Nick.

Hogan’s petition, filed Wednesday under his real name, Terry Bollea, also said Nick is old enough to decide which parent he wants to live with.

Linda Bollea, who filed for divorce earlier this month after 24 years of marriage, is seeking an unspecified amount of alimony and child support.

She also wants her home to be Nick Bollea’s primary residence, with Hogan allowed liberal visitation, her petition states.

Hogan, 54, wants the couple’s assets and liabilities equitably distributed. The celebrity wrestler intends to continue covering the family with health insurance, his petition states. The couple also have a 19-year-old daughter, Brooke.

Hogan’s attorney, Ann Loughridge Kerr, said Friday she had no comment on the filings.

“It’s all going to get worked out,” she said.

A call to Elliot Jay Goldstein, who represents Linda Bollea, wasn’t immediately returned.

Nick Bollea is facing charges of reckless driving involving serious bodily injury in connection with an Aug. 26 crash in downtown Clearwater that left a friend critically injured.
