New York Giants star defensive end Michael Strahan had a domestic violence complaint against him dismissed, days after he filed for divorce. The complaint dated to a March 10 argument over money between Strahan and his wife, Jean, at their Montclair, NJ home.

Judge Thomas Zampino ruled the argument did not involve physical violence. Nevertheless, Jean told the court of past instances in which she claimed the DE physically abused her, including several times when he choked or punched her.

Michael Strahan denied the abuse accusations. He filed for divorce on 3/14/05. A temporary restraining order was issued against him 3/10/05 after Jean Strahan filed the complaint with Montclair police department. He left the court without speaking to reporters.

Jean Strahan said that this month she and her husband argued after the DE noticed on an online bank statement that she had transferred nearly $1.7 million from one of their joint accounts.

Jean Strahan testified that she did so because she thought her husband was moving money out of the accounts himself, and because he had "cut up her credit cards."

During the confrontation at home that evening, Michael Strahan yelled at her and told her he would make her put the money back in the account, Jean Strahan said. However, she did admit under cross examination that her husband did not touch her during the argument.

The Strahans have twin girls, born in October. The parties agreed Michael Strahan will be allowed to visit his children on alternate days.
