Danica Patrick Files For Divorce

Posted on January 24, 2013 by admin

Danica Patrick and Paul Hospenthal file for divorce after 7 years of marriage.

Danica Patrick, the beloved NASCAR driver and godaddy.com mascot, has filed for a divorce.

The official announcement was made through Facebook in Novemeber where she said, “I am sad to inform my fans that after 7 years, Paul and I have decided to amicably end our marriage, this isn’t easy for either of us, but mutually it has come to this. He has been an important person and friend in my life and that’s how we will remain moving forward.”

The 30 year-old driver claims that the divorce has nothing to do with her withdrawal from the upcoming Indy 500 and says she is simply trying to focus her attention on the entire season as a whole.

The couple do not have any kids together and according to documents they signed prenuptial agreements before their marriage. Looking in from the outside, this is great news for the $18 Million in worth NASCAR driving Patrick.

Toddlers & Tiarras Mom Might Loose Custody Over Pageant Outfit

TLC’s outrageous show “Toddlers & Tiaras” is no stranger to controversy, but the series is once again in the spotlight after a father is fighting for the custody of his daughter after she was featured on the show. The series, now in it’s 5th season, focuses on the elusive world of child beauty pageants where children as young as 2 are dressed up with gowns, custom made fake teeth, fake eyelashes, hair extensions, spray tans and full faces of makeup.

Maddy Verst was only four years old when she was featured on the show over a year ago. For the talent portion of the contest her mother dressed her as Dolly Parton, complete with custom made fake breasts and a padded butt- which she referred to as an “added bonus” . Her father Bill Verst has now asked a Kentucky judge to designate him as the primary residential custodial parent. Mr. Verst felt that his estranged wife exploited their little daughter by putting her in the provocative costume and exposing her to the pageant world. The ruling judge appeared to agree and put a temporary ban on all pageants for the remainder of the trial, removed all reporters from the room and placed a gag order on the mother. A court- appointed psychologist stated that the pageants leave Maddy in danger of long term psychological harm and has suggested that custody be turned over to her father. The next court date is scheduled for August 31st.

If you feel that your child is being endangered by their current situation contact an experienced Orange County divorce attorney at Wilkinson & Finkbeiner today to discuss your legal options.
