The publicized divorce of Judge Mathis and his wife has brought light to their relationship, which lasted for 39 years.
Key Takeaways
- Judge Mathis is allegedly separating from his wife of 39 years.
- His wife had listed the date of separation as July 17.
- The former couple has four children together.
The couple had been together for almost four decades before filing for divorce in 2024.
When the ex-pair tied the knot in June 1985, Reese was 22 years old, and Mathis was 25.
Mathis’s now-former wife, Lisa Reese, is 61 years old as of 2024.
To this date, Judge Mathis had a healthy relationship with his wife, Linda Reese.
The now-divorced pair had been married for 39 years before the big reveal by an article from TMZ.
It was not only the couple who had a hard time after the separation but also the fans who had avidly watched the judges show ” Mathis Court With Judge Mathis” for more than two decades.
Reese listed irreconcilable differences as the reason for their divorce.
Since all four of their children are above the age of 18, Linda will not be permitted a grant for child support.
She has, however, asked for spousal support in the filing.
This further blocked the judge’s ability to get awarded for spousal support.
Moreover, there is no evidence of whether the couple had signed a prenuptial agreement prior to their marriage.
