GOP Candidate Faces Divorce Questions

The leader in the Illinois Republican Senate primary fended off fresh questions Sunday about his divorce files as the Democratic front-runner got an emotional endorsement from civil rights leader Jesse Jackson and visited black churches.

In Springfield, Republican leader Jack Ryan again refused to make public the contents of sealed child-custody papers stemming from his divorce from actress Jeri Ryan.

The pressure on Ryan to unseal the documents intensified as another Republican candidate, Jim Oberweis, called on Ryan to "clear the air."


Oberweis suggested Sunday that former Gov. Jim Edgar, state GOP Chairwoman Judy Baar Topinka or Cardinal Francis George of Chicago could view the records and assure voters there was nothing of concern. At a Republican dinner in Peoria, Oberweis met briefly with Ryan to discuss the proposal, but Ryan turned it down.

9. How

do the people responding to this thread know that he divorced her? Maybe she dovorced him. All I saw in the articles was "...his divorce from ..." but since the articles are about him, that would be the natural phrasing.

Since it appears most of the information is sealed, it isn't clear, at least to me, who instigated the proceedings.

edit: HAH! typical male sexism! "he dumped her blah blah blah"

accorinding to this site ->link she divorced him.

snip about 1/3 down under the header Jeri Ryan Now Single:
"Ever since Jeri Ryan had been working in Hollywood, her relationship with her estranged husband has been touch and go. Jeri Ryan has finally filed for divorce from her husband of seven years. Sources indicate that Jeri Ryan filed court papers last Friday in Los Angeles for a divorce from Jack Ryan, a Chicago-based investment banker. "

10. whatever

No matter who dumped who, it's obvious he doesn't know how to keep something good. Not good for an investment banker or a public servant.
