The judge ordered a single payment of 300 thousand dollars, in addition to the purchase of a house worth up to 1 million dollars in the name of Alissa. The former athlete must also hand over jewelry valued at $50,000 and a new vehicle. The sentence recognized the agreement as valid, but considered it necessary to compensate the ex-wife for the sacrifices alleged during the marriage.
