Todd Palin files for divorce from former Alaska governor Sarah Palin
Anchorage Daily News ^

Posted on 09/09/2019 1:08:25 PM PDT by bigdaddy45

Todd Palin appears to have filed for divorce from former Alaska governor and one-time vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin, his wife of 31 years.

In a document filed Friday in Anchorage Superior Court, Todd Palin, 55, asked to dissolve the marriage, citing an “incompatibility of temperament between the parties such that they find it impossible to live together as husband and wife.”

The divorce filing uses initials rather than full names, but identifies the couple’s marriage date and the birth date of their only child who is a minor, Trig Palin. The filing asks for joint legal custody of the child.

After 31 years together...

Not really, their marriage has been in trouble for more than ten years. He never even bought her a wedding ring!

It’s really a shame. Until the Trumps, no family in the country ever received the kind of evil treatment, personal attacks, other vile accusations and slanders the Palin family has — all for her being nothing more than a successful Governor and the only thing of value on the 2008 Presidential ticket. It wasn’t that she needed to be defeated, but she needed to be destroyed.

Sorry to hear this. Great people who tried hard to be good people, as well.
His accident was brutal. Her press enemies were relentless. The conflicts regarding their children have been painful, public and pretty constant. Both of them have suffered, deeply, for one another, and together for their children and over their children, in one circumstance after another.

They loved their kids and are amazing people. Sometimes, emotional health and well-being is strained too much for too long. Is it odd that
Todd filed? Does it mean anything? Usually, the wife used to be expected to do the actual filing, unless she couldn’t or wouldn’t.

She won’t need a man the way Todd will need a good woman

At her age women change

Men not so much

Even if pretty like sarah

I have a feeling she’ll be back in the fight. Just a gut instinct.

She’d make a wonderful First Woman President...

“...“incompatibility of temperament between the parties such that they find it impossible to live together as husband and wife.”

This development is Sarah's life saddens me. It couldn't happen to a finer woman and I will always have love in my heart for her. There is a dark cloud over all of this and it's hard to get a picture of this tragedy.

I thought Alaskans had tougher temperaments that could overcome problems such as marriage difficulties. Operating a fishing business and a four-time champion of the Tesoro Iron Dog, snowmobile race should have given Todd some grits. Todd should man up and get over his difficulties. At 55, Todd may find the next wife only interested in him as a gold digger.

People were ahast that that party of JFK, Ted Kennedy, and Bill Clinton, would stoop to the politics of personal destruction.

...and Christine Ford-Blasey and #Me Too and Title IX witch hunts.

AWALT, but only Dems are allowed to say so.

Clearly you have intimate familiarity with the Palins. I assume you’ve met them and spent time with them? Any insight would be appreciated.

As for Todd “manning up and getting over his difficulties”, please let us know what you think they are. Clearly you have some insider information and know who is at fault in the break up.

Looks like the blasted libs got their way and destroyed a family. I'm very sorry to learn of this and you can bet the libs are throwing a party (never mind how dysfunctional their own lives are). I wish both the very best in the future.

Also--Todd Palin must be an idiot. After all, babes with glasses, right?
