Former New Jersey Governor Jim McGreevey and Dina Matos McGreevey reached a child custody agreement over their six-year-old daughter late Thursday, reports the Associated Press.

Although the terms of the agreement are confidential, Matos McGreevey's attorney said the settlement was amicable.

The two were scheduled to hit the courts on Monday, May 6th, but remained in closed-door talks throughout the week in an attempt to avoid a full-blown trial.

Unfortunately, all's not said and done: The two will return on Monday to hash out alimony and child support-and the most controversial sticking point: Matos McGreevey's fraud claim.

It really does seem a shame that these two might be able to work through custody, alimony, and child support, only to have to duke it out in court over a wholly gray area. If you recall, Matos McGreevey claims to have no knowledge of her ex's sexual orientation and is citing marital fraud. You know that one won't be pretty...

Robin and Marsha Garces Williams have pledged to be honest, cooperative, and respectful during the duration of their divorce proceedings, says People magazine.

In fact, they're so serious about civility, they've signed an official agreement to avoid courtroom blows and to keep the kids' interests in mind, adding "we commit ourselves to the collaborative law process and agree to seek a positive way to resolve our differences justly and equitably."

We all know divorce can be messy, but kudos to the couple for trying to get through it will grace and aplomb.

Although it's only May of 2008, Mr. Kent Gramm is having a bad year. After 30 years of marriage and more than 20 years of teaching, Mr. Gramm is getting divorced and leaving his teaching post at the same time.

Mr. Gramm currently teaches at Wheaton College, a well known conservative Evangelical Christian school, which requires all of its employees to display behavior acceptable to the school's religious teaching.

All employees sign a "statement of faith and community covenant," which spells out exactly the kind of behavior the school will accept.

Drinking, smoking, and gambling are not on the list, and dancing was only allowed four years ago after being banned during the Civil War.

While the school acknowledges that divorce can happen, they need to know all of the details of the divorce to determine if the employee has broken his signed statement by exhibiting unacceptable behavior.

Mr. Gramm acknowledges that he signed the statement but does not believe he should have to disclose the details of his divorce. As he is aware that not disclosing the details will get him fired, he has agreed to resign and will stay only until the end of the school term.

"I think it's wrong to have to accuse your spouse and to discuss with your employer your personal life and marital situation," Gramm said. "But I don't feel badly treated. There has been an attitude of compassion here."

As the school is concerned about how the behavior of one of its teachers will affect the student body, Mr. Gramm decided to discuss his resignation and the reasons behind it with his students. "I want them to know that divorce happens," Gramm said. "That you aren't deserted by God because your life doesn't turn out the way you expect. I hope this helps them acquire a broader understanding of what Christianity is and what faithfulness means."

Linda Bollea has filed an order with Florida's Pinellas County Judicial Court — the area where the couple most recently shared a home — in an attempt to find out exactly how much the Hulk is worth.

Apparently The Hulk — or Terry Bollea to the courts— has been less than cooperative with his wife's attempts to get him to disclose his net worth.

It has been reported that if Linda is unable to get a hearing scheduled before a May 13th deadline she may lose an $840,000 deposit on a Vegas condo.

Looks like Linda is going to have to take this wrestler to the ring...

Dina Matos McGreevey and former New Jersey governor Jim McGreevey's lawyers are at a standstill over allowing a former aide to testify.

Teddy Pedersen's accounts of his three-way sexual encounters with the McGreeveys may hold to key to more than $600,000 for Matos McGreevey, who claims she had no prior knowledge of her ex's sexual preference. (That being the sum she would have collected had McGreevey not resigned and she finished her term as First Lady.)

Although attorneys say they're hoping for a settlement, court proceedings are scheduled to begin May 6th.

This could get ugly.

It's official: Star Jones Reynolds is heading for divorce court. We reported a few months back on the TV personality's split with Al Reynolds, so we'll spare you the dramatic details. Short story: the couple separated in early March, and Star filed the paperwork by the end of the month.

If the wedding was a blow-out, over-the-top event, we can't wait to see the divorce proceedings. One question: Will she report on her own hearing?

Indian culture has always held marriage in high esteem. Lengthy, elaborate ceremonies have held the spotlight for centuries, while the culture still has no word for "divorce."

It might be time to coin one, as Indian women are increasingly stepping away from abusive or unhappy marriages. Although national numbers aren't available, the country's most literate state has seen a 350% increase in divorce over the past 10 years.

One woman in the process of divorcing her alcoholic husband said she hasn't told her parents — that their generation considers divorce shameful, even likened it to AIDS.

Okay, besides the fact that neither is shameful, it's unfortunate to hear that women (or anyone, for that matter) should be forced to endure a home life or relationship that is detrimental. It's also uplifting to hear that Indian women see that there is an alternative.

After months of negotiating, both sides of the Hasselhoff-Bach divorce have agreed to financial terms of the split.

David Hasselhoff will pay $21,000 per month in spousal support to his ex, Pamela Bach, and $4,000 per month in child support for the couple's two teenage daughters.

Split 50/50: The house, the cars, the bank accounts, and most surprisingly, his acting and directing pensions and income from his book, Making Waves.

The former couple divvied up household property. Reportedly, he gets the antique barber chair, while she keeps the photograph of Michael Jackson (score!).

Women's rights activists are up in arms about a contentious divorce case in Tennessee that may result in the local marital property laws to be changed. According to an article in Tennessean.com, "a wage-earning husband gets to keep $1.7 million in stock. His homemaker wife gets nothing."

Okay, I admit, when we're talking about the rights of the stay-at-home spouse — and let's face it, while many husbands including my own are starting to stay home, it's generally the wife — and there are a few million dollars in play, I can see why people are getting concerned. Some are suggesting that if this settlement goes through as is, it could be precedent setting and go against state laws.

But, and there's a really big but, I don't think that this case has anything to do with the wife being a homemaker. The court says that the husband is being allowed to keep the stock and not share it because all he did was hold it after receiving it as a gift from his father. Her employment status is irrelevant.

In my opinion — and I know this is going to make me the bad guy — when you decide not to work, you take a risk. A gift given to one individual is just that — a gift with only one intended recipient. If Daddy had given him a cheese knife, is she entitled to half of that, too?

In an update to the eight-year-old Yemeni girl's divorce case we covered earlier this week, the court has ruled in the girl's favor and dissolved the marriage.

The two-month marriage was terminated in court yesterday, after recounting the abuse and rape she endured at the hands of her 30-year-old husband.

Although the man will unlikely face criminal charges for his actions (some nonsense about not recognizing rape in marriage), and her parents must pay him $250 as "compensation" (can't really even comment on that), the eight-year-old is free of her husband. Her lawyers have ensured that she will be placed in proper custody and receive a formal education.
