Filmmaker and Oscar winning documentarian Michael Moore's divorce from his wife of 22 years, Kathleen Glynn, has been finalized.
The Fahrenheit 9/11 and Bowling From Columbine director filed a petition to divorce Glynn on June 17, 2013 in Michigan's Antrim County. The case was finally closed on Tuesday.
Spokesman for Moore, Christian Muirhead, says his client and Glynn, "have mutually and amicably reached a divorce settlement."
While an agreement has indeed been reached, it has been revealed on the Smoking Gun website that Moore and Glynn squabbled over their considerable assets including the large amount of money 56-year-old Glynn (who also served as Moore's producer) spent on their lakefront home.
Per the documents, Moore claimed Glynn "unilaterally wasted a large percentage of the marital funds" on their Torch Lake mansion. (The home is believed to be worth about $2 million.) The garish spending, he said, set him up for ridicule because he often put the spotlight on the "one percent" in his films.
He said that Glynn spent five times more on the property than she should have in what amounted to "massive cost overruns" that set them back financially and also reported in a 2011 sworn affidavit, that Glynn "discussed with me problems she was having with the money she was spending (which caused us some serious financial losses)."
The couple own nine (!) other properties between Michigan and New York, including a Manhattan condo created from of three smaller units.
Moore also has $50m in assets. Court records did not indicate exactly how much Glynn is worth.
