Brittney Griner Files for Divorce: What's Next?

Brittney Griner has filed for divorce from her wife, Cherelle Griner, in Georgia's Fulton County Superior Court. The divorce filing, dated July 30, indicates that the couple has been living separately with no intimate relations since July 24. This action comes seven years after their marriage and two years after welcoming their son.

The legal documents explicitly state that the marriage is "irretrievably broken" with "no hope of reconciliation." Brittney is requesting joint physical custody of their 2-year-old son, Bash Raymond Griner, along with child support determined by Georgia's Child Support Guidelines.

Furthermore, the filing seeks an equitable distribution of marital assets and debts between the parties. Brittney also requests that her separate, non-marital property, including inherited and pre-marital assets, be awarded to her.
