Just In: See Full Text Of Newt Gingrich’s Divorce Filings Against First Wife Jacqueline. Casts Serious Doubt on Gingo’s Story.
In 1980, Newt Gingrich left his wife Jacqueline. He was involved in an affair with Marianne Ginther, who would become the next Mrs. Gingrich. Newt has long maintained that it was Jacqueline, not he who wanted a divorce. The court papers below contradict this. On page six:
“Defendant [Jacqueline] shows that she has adequate and ample grounds for divorce, but that she does not desire one at this time.” . . .
Moreover, on page 22, Jacqueline Gingrich asserts:
“Although defendant does not admit that this marriage is irretrievably broken, defendant has been hopeful that an arrangement for temporary support of defendant and the two minor daughters of the parties could be mutually agreed upon without the intervention of this court. All efforts to date have been unsuccessful.”
