ELIZABETH, New Jersey — I am here in Elizabeth, New Jersey for the divorce trial of former New Jersey governor Jim McGreevey. There’s only one problem…there is no trial.  In Session has learned that settlement talks are continuing, but an announcement scheduled to be made this afternoon by both sides may not be happening. The big question is whether the McGreeveys are actually resolving issues they have been fought over for several years now. And what about that fraud claim brought by Dina Matos McGreevey? She wants damages, she says, for being fraudently induced into marriage by the former governor. McGreevey resigned from office in 2004, announcing at a press conference that he was a “gay American.” McGreveey also told the nation at that time he had been having an affair with his male homeland security advisor. Yesterday, attorneys for both parties issued a joint statement saying, “We are happy to report on behalf of both of our clients that they have made progress toward settling their case.” At the center of many contentious issues has been the custody of the couple’s 6-year-old daughter. In addition to custody and support, Matos McGreevey is asking for $600,000 to compensate her for the life she lost as first lady after her husband resigned. If talks break down, there may just be that divorce trial…stay tuned to In Session. –Jean Casarez, In Session correspondent Filed under: Jean Casarez |
