Jon & Kate Update
Kate Gosselin filed for divorce in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, on June 22, 2009. The interesting thing is, the Gosselin’s do not live in Montgomery County, they live in Berks County Pennsylvania. Standard procedure in a divorce case is you file in the county where the Defendant resides, so how are they escaping that rule of law? And how ironic is that the Gosselin’s want the divorce papers kept confidential when they make their living on a reality television show?
Kate also checked two boxes, one indicating the marriage is irretrievably broken, and one stating that she and Jon have lived separate and apart for two years, apparently in an effort to hedge her bets in case Jon decides to argue about whether or not the marriage is irretrievably broken. In most cases, it’s enough for one party to state that the marriage is irretrievably broken, since it takes two people to make a marriage work. It will be interesting to see how Jon responds.
