George Zimmerman's wife, Shellie, is planning to file for divorce. Robert Zimmerman, Jr. tweeted the news to his more than 24,000 followers just after 5 p.m: "According to Shellie's atty Kelly Sims - Shellie is preparing to file 4 divorce. Docs have not yet been filed in Seminole Cty. Pray 4 them."

The Associated Press reports that Sims has confirmed Shellie plans to end their six-year marriage.

George Zimmerman, 29, was acquitted of second-degree murder in the Feb. 2012 shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin on July 13. The case made international news after it took police several weeks to arrest Zimmerman in the case.

Tuesday, Zimmerman was pulled over for speeding by a Fla. cop.

Zimmerman's wife, Shellie, has also had trouble with the law. On Aug. 28, she pleaded guilty to misdemeanor perjury and was sentenced to one year of probation.

Good for George. She won’t have access to the lawsuit money.

The article didn't say so, but I thought I remember them having a kid?

If he can't pay child support he'll end up getting killed in jail.

I'm sorry to hear this but looking back, I thought it odd that she wasn't overwhelmed with emotion when the verdict came back. I'm not saying she wanted him convicted but her emotions seemed more like an observer than a spouse.

What company would bring all that trouble upon themselves by hiring him to do any kind of work? He is the completely unemployable man, thanks to Obama, Sharpton, Holder and the racialist industry.

Actually, I thought I saw her smiling, crying and hugging everyone after the verdict. Maybe I’m misremembering...

This may be the only way she can find any peace as well.

Or the book deal.

I think when his book comes out I will make it a point to go to the neighborhood private book store in town and special order it. That will really tic off the lib who runs the place.

Thanks to the US Govt. this man’s life has been ruined. AP story about him getting a freakin’ speeding ticket.

Insanity all about us.

Maybe he can cite Eric Holder in the divorce proceedings?

I hate to speculate out loud, but at the time, when he was pulled over outside Dallas a month or so back, and he was alone, I had to wonder where his wife was.

I can’t begin to understand what he and his family went through, but I was thinking to myself if I just beat a murder rap and was out of jail, the last thing I would be doing is traveling so far without the people you care about.

There is probably a movie deal in the works. At least I hope so, because I don't see George getting employment...anytime soon.

In all fairness, the two need to divorce for their own protection, from the vast number of scoundrels out to get them.

I think we need a divorce lawyer to weigh in on that claim.

He’ll never get a job as George Zimmerman.

He’s going to have to change his name, move to someplace like Alaska or Canada.

Rumor has it they were having big problems BEFORE all this SHTF.

She did hang tough with him during the worst of it, but now, time to move on.

No one, but no one, knows what goes on inside their neighbor’s house.

If lawsuit filed while they are married she have a claim. Any income from lawsuits, book deals after official divorce, she gets nothing.

I don’t know why those wouldn’t be treated as marital assets.
