After yearslong separation, Sharpton files for divorce
NEW YORK – More than 16 years after separating, civil rights activist Rev. Al Sharpton has filed for divorce from his estranged wife, Kathy Jordan Sharpton.
Paperwork for a contested divorce was filed Thursday in Manhattan Supreme Court.
A statement attributed to both of them said: “After years of being separated, Kathy and I have decided to formalize our separation by filing for divorce. We plan to resolve this in an amicable manner. We remain good friends and our highest concern is the well-being of our grandson.”
The couple had been married for more than 20 years when a separation was announced in November 2004. They have two daughters together.
