Larry King Files For Divorce From 7th Wife With Encouragement From Sons
Larry King is once again in the process of getting a divorced from his 7th wife, Shawn Southwick King.
According to TMZ, sources told them that Shawn presented Larry with legal documents that would have given her certain rights to their property that would adversely affect the couple’s 2 sons.
Evidently they felt she was trying to block them out of their inheritance and the boys weren’t having it.

Sources say they went to Larry and told him they were outraged by their mother’s conduct — presenting the documents — and pled with him to get out of the marriage and he followed their advice.TMZ reports:
Larry filed divorce docs Tuesday in L.A. Superior Court … pulling the plug on his 22-year marriage to Shawn. The couple does not have any minor children — their 2 sons, Cannon and Chance … are 19 and 20 years old, respectively.
They’ve been down this road at least once before. In 2010, the former CNN host filed for divorce, and it was actually a race to the courthouse — Shawn tried to file first, but Larry’s legal team was faster on the draw. Didn’t matter in the end … he and Shawn eventually reconciled.
They dealt with more marital turmoil in 2016, when they publicly addressed cheating rumors.
This will be 85-year-old Larry’s 8th divorce. He married one of his wives, Alene Akins, twice … that was way back in the 1960s.
The tension in the marriage begin to build around the time Larry was ill. The divorce documents list the date of separation as June 6, 2019.

It’s clear that the writer is a data geek. I like how he writes
and writes facts. It is always such a joy to read articles made by real professionals, like
https://shadbushcollective.org/life-hacks-for-moving-to-a-new-city-for-uni/. I’m fed up with that no-name, ghostwritten articles.
That is why it was so pleasant to have a look at a persuasive piece.
I see the writer has floor knowledge it the topic as well as some
practical experience. This sort of information is always more valuable than copypasted
blog posts ideas.
