(Elizabeth, N.J.) Gay former New Jersey Gov. James McGreevey will split a $135,000 pension account with ex-wife Dina Matos under terms of a consent agreement they signed.
McGreevey resigned in 2004 after proclaiming himself “a gay American” and saying he’d had an extramarital affair with a man. He and Matos divorced last August.A Superior Court judge divided the marital assets, awarding Matos nearly $110,000.
In a statement Thursday, Matos says she filed a motion in March over the pension account.
McGreevey says the account is from his time as mayor of Woodbridge and predates his marriage to Matos. He says it wasn’t part of his marital estate.
His lawyer says McGreevey agreed to share it in a spirit of conciliation.
The couple have a young daughter named Jacqueline.
Forgotten but not gone.
This guy is a jerk. He distracted everyone from the fact that he appointed his boyfriend to a high position in his administration and cheated on his wife by going “Hey, I’m gay!” This just goes to show that contrary to what conservatives think, forcing people to stay in the closet hurts families.
Yeah, not a fan of the adulterer, or his vengance-filled ex.
I fail to see how this is news.
