Divorce court becomes new source for company secrets


It goes like this: A high-powered marriage breaks up, and after settlement talks fail, a scorned mate makes public through their divorce proceedings all sorts of company secrets -- from lavish executive pay and perks to corporate dealings.

Forget regulatory filings and annual reports. This is public disclosure of a different kind, with powerful repercussions.
