Todd Palin files for divorce from former Alaska governor Sarah Palin

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.

Anchorage attorney Kimberlee Colbo is representing Todd Palin in the divorce. In a filing, Colbo said she would ask the court to designate the divorce confidential as it moves forward.

She bailed out after the first half of her term so why give her both halves of the title?

I was choosing to emphasize her tendency to do halfsies:

-term
-wit
-baked
-assed

etc.

I find it hard to throw stones in this case.

Besides, she has no political power now, it is useless to dance on the grave of her failed marriage.
