He didn't get anything in the divorce other than a range rover. However, there was a issue that was brought up with jurists questioning whether or not a divorce could be granted in the case, as the two had sex after she filed for divorce. You learn something new every day.

Sex issue resolved: Bynum-Weeks marriage over

A divorce was finalized for the couple at 10:45 a.m before Judge Debra Turner.

Bynum agreed to pay $40,000 of Weeks' attorney fees. They will keep individual assets they had before the marriage. Bynum wants to retrieve some personal items in Weeks possession, including a harp and sculpture.

Weeks a gets a 2004 Land Rover. And he pays any credit card debt in his name. No alimony was granted.

Before the final decree, the divorce proceeding was interrupted after Bynum revealed that the couple had sex last August after they had separated...

 Turner left the courtroom to research whether the divorce could be granted under Georgia law, which, in part, sees sex by separated couples as a act of reconciliation.
