(35,048 posts)21. No. They're going through a divorce settlement. They cancelled their public trial.
There's a difference. They decided not to air their dirty laundry. Very few Texas divorces involve public trials.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's divorce settlement case was removed from the trial docket Tuesday after he and his wife, state Sen. Angela Paxton, have made "substantial progress toward an amicable resolution" and no longer need a public trial, his attorneys said.
"The parties have jointly agreed that a trial setting is no longer necessary, and the Court has removed the case from the trial docket," Paxton's attorneys, Jared Julian and Laura Roach, said in a prepared statement.
"The parties have made substantial progress toward an amicable resolution of all issues and remain engaged in productive discussions. We are optimistic that a final agreement will be reached in the near future. Out of respect for the family and the ongoing process, no further comment will be made at this time."

If I said yes, that would establish what I am, and we'd just be discussing the price.

Wonder how much Paxton paid his wife to keep his dirty laundry from being publicly aired during the election.

The fact that they were going to have a public trial was likely due having tons of assets

Ah, thanks. I read they had settled, and thought it meant they had decided not to go through with it.
