Lawyers Say McGreeveys Have Reached Custody Deal

New Jersey’s former first couple move one step closer to dissolving their marriage.
Jim McGreevey and his estranged wife reached agreement last night on a custody deal for their 6-year-old daughter. But neither side would provide details on the settlement. It came on the third day of negotiations, which included some closed-door testimony before state Superior Court Judge Karen
Cassidy.
The former governor and his wife split in 2004 after he resigned in disgrace over a gay affair. They had been married for four years.
They’re now due back at the Union County Courthouse on Monday to begin settlement talks on remaining issues, including alimony and child support.
Should those succeed, the final issue would be Dina Matos McGreevey’s claim of marriage fraud.
