Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver will Divorce in December.
Everyone assumed that the marital dissolution of Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger’s marriage would take a long time to finalize. Divorce papers were filed in 2011 after Arnold’s affair became public knowledge and the actor was forced to reveal the pregnancy of his unborn child. TMZ was the first media outlet to report the news on December 28, 2021.
They reportedly sought mediation from a private judge during that week at the Superior Court of Los Angeles County. After a judge approved the divorce in December of 20201, it had to be formally entered into the court system by a sitting judge before it could be considered final. According to TMZ, the delay was caused by a lack of motivation on the part of the staff, which significantly contributed to the problem.
