The pair's 11-year marriage was officially closed on September 3, but divorce docs are saying Giada will be forced to pay her former flame $9,000 every month in child support for their 7-year-old daughter, Jade Marie De Laurentiis Thompson—who they will share joint custody. (Does that seem excessive to anyone else... for one child?)

And that's not the only sweet thing Todd is reaping in from their separation—he'll go ahead and grab their fully furnished ($300,000 worth of art and furniture) $3.2 million Pacific Palisades home while he's at it. Is that you we hear crying, Giada?

So, grab a flashlight because it's tough to see what's left for the Food Network star since there was no prenup arranged when the two married in 2003. Meaning, Todd is getting the sweet end of the deal here because he'll still be earning extra cash on the side for Giada's multiple cookbooks that still have money owed to her, which creep up to nearly $5 million unpaid advances still floating in space out there.

To sum it up, Giada gets to keep her name (i.e. her brand). Basically, the entire rights to her upcoming Italian cookbook and Linguine Pictures, her production company. So, if we see Giada shift gears and start a new series on budget-eating or comfort food on the Food Network, we'll all know why.
