Meagan Good and her husband of 9 years, DeVon Franklin, are getting divorced, and it seems it’s one of the few Hollywood divorces that has shocked people. According to DeVon, he and Meagan were separated four months before officially filing for a divorce.
Legal documents available to The Blast indicate the couple’s official date of separation is August 21, 2021, and in the filing, DeVon cites “irreconcilable differences” for the reason their divorce.
Interestingly, Franklin is asking the court to “terminate” its ability to award either of them spousal support — which normally indicates there was a prenuptial agreement. The couple didn’t share any children, so child support isn’t an issue in this case. In 2019, the actress shared a video of the couple in the family’s entertainment office, saying she was “getting ready for babies,” but the couple never had kids.
The date of separation is important for several reasons. On one hand, it can have major financial implications in a celebrity divorce, considering anything AFTER the date can’t be considered “community property.” In other words, each party would keep anything they made after that date. Also, Good could argue it happened on a different date in her response to this divorce filing. It is very common.
Meagan Good and DeVon Franklin’s joint statement about their divorce reads:
“We celebrate almost a decade of marriage together and a love that is eternal. There’s no one at fault, we believe this is the next best chapter in the evolution of our love, We are incredibly grateful for the life-changing years we’ve spent together as husband and wife. We are also extremely thankful to God for the testimony being created inside us both and for blessing our lives with each other.”
Meagan Good has already stated she will focus on herself for a while but will be looking for a new type of man when she is ready to date. It is a cold world to serve someone divorce papers at Christmas time.
