Shannen Doherty, the beloved actress known for her roles in “Beverly Hills, 90210” and “Charmed,” managed to settle her contentious divorce with husband Kurt Iswarienko shortly before her untimely death. Legal documents obtained by TMZ reveal that the couple had come to an agreement on various issues in their divorce case, which was active up until Doherty’s passing this weekend.
The settlement, reached just a day before Doherty’s death, covered property division and other matters, transforming the case from contested to uncontested. As part of the agreement, both parties exchanged final disclosures, typically detailing financial information.
Interestingly, the documents show that Doherty waived her right to receive future spousal support. However, the specifics of the settlement, including any potential lump sum payments, remain undisclosed.
This resolution comes after a period of financial strain for Doherty. In recent legal filings, Shannen had requested up to $15,000 per month in spousal support from Iswarienko, citing dwindling income from her “Charmed” residuals and other past TV work. She had also sought thousands in attorneys’ fees.
The timing of this settlement adds a poignant note to Doherty’s final days, as she battled cancer. It suggests that despite their differences, Doherty and Iswarienko were able to find common ground and resolve their legal disputes before her passing.
This development offers a glimpse into the personal challenges Doherty faced alongside her public health struggles. It also highlights the complexities of celebrity divorces and the importance of resolving legal matters, even in the face of grave illness.
As fans and the entertainment world mourn Doherty’s loss, this final resolution of her personal affairs provides a sense of closure to a chapter in her life, allowing her legacy to be remembered beyond the legal battles that marked her final years.
