McGreevey divorce ruling expected soon

NEW JERSEY James McGreevey's marriage publicly unraveled four years ago when he told the world he was gay, and said he had a homosexual affair.

Now a state judge is preparing to grant a divorce as early as this week to the former New Jersey governor and his estranged wife, Dina Matos.

The 50-year-old McGreevey and 41-year-old Matos have been living apart nearly as long as they were together. They're awaiting the dissolution of their marriage and a settling of their finances by Union County Superior Court Judge Karen Cassidy.

The couple went to trial this spring after failing to come to terms on alimony, support and whether McGreevey committed fraud by marrying even though he knew he was gay.

They did agree to split custody of their only child, a 6-year-old girl.
