George Zimmerman’s wife filed for divorce Thursday evening, her lawyer confirmed, less than two months after the former Neighborhood Watch volunteer was acquitted of murder in the shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. Rene Stutzman and Jeff Weiner report for the Orlando Sentinel.
Shellie Zimmerman, 26, was not available for comment, but her attorney confirmed their marriage was over.
“After much soul searching and recent disappointments, Shellie feels compelled to officially end her six-year marriage to George Michael Zimmerman,” said attorney Kelly Sims.
He gave no details of their breakup but provided a copy of the paperwork and Shellie Zimmerman’s financial affidavit. It reveals that she’s deeply in debt, owing creditors more than $90,000.The couple separated on August 13, 2013, according to her divorce filing, and Shellie Zimmerman wants a judge to award her custody of both dogs, Oso, 2-year-old, 120-pound Rottweiler and Leroy, an 8-year-old mixed breed.
“The marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken,” the pleading says.
Shellie Zimmerman is asking for an “equitable distribution” of their assets, property and debts.
