It’s official, after over a decade of separation, the multi-talented Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver will no longer have marriage attached to their names. Tuesday morning in Superior Court, Schwarzenegger and his former wife, Shriver, signed papers with a private lawyer to effectively end the marriage after more than ten years separated.
While the divorce technically occurred earlier this month, the two were both waiting for a sitting judge to input the divorce filings into the public systems. Part of the reason the divorce lingered for more than ten years was due to a property settlement agreement. However, a lack of motivation also led to the divorce papers stalling.
It has been years since Arnold Schwarzenegger and Shriver split up. They have both moved on with private relationships even though the divorce was not completely processed until now. Despite the marriage falling apart, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver remain cordial to this day and often meet at gatherings accompanied by the four children they had together.
