Tennessee Mayor Going through Divorce

The mayor of a county in Tennessee received divorce papers from his wife last week. She claims that he has not been faithful during their marriage, and as a result has caused irreparable damage to the union. A.B. filed the 5-page paper at a Knox County courthouse last week, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for the divorce request. She and Mayor T.B. have been married for four years and have no children together. In the document, she requested "a reasonable amount of alimony, both temporary and permanent," as well as the expense of her legal fees.

In response to the allegations, the mayor has claimed ignorance of the incidents that his wife is referring to in the divorce petition. Since their impromptu wedding in 2007, with the then-Governor officiating, the two have appeared to have had a happy marriage. It is uncertain what happened between the two as neither party is going into detail at this time. If you plan to file for divorce, protect yourself throughout the process by working with a family lawyer in your area.
