AL First Lady Dianne Bentley files for divorce from Gov. Robert Bentley

TUSCALOOSA COUNTY, AL (WBRC) -

First Lady Dianne Bentley has filed for divorce from Governor Robert Bentley, according to court documents filed on Friday.

The court documents say Dianne Bentley "states that there is such a complete incompatibility of temperament that the parties can no longer live together” and their marriage “has suffered an irretrievable breakdown and that further attempts at reconciliation are impractical and not in the best interests of the parties."

It also says "there exists a conflict of personalities which destroys the legitimate aims of matrimony and all possibilities of reconciliation are futile."

Dianne Bentley is asking for a fair and equitable division of all of their personal property, for alimony, for sole title to the property they own, and for Gov. Bentley to pay the debts they've incurred during their marriage, as well as her attorney costs.

The documents say the Bentleys have been separated since January 2015, the same month Gov. Bentley was sworn in for his second term as Alabama's governor. The court documents list a Tuscaloosa address for Dianne Bentley and a Montgomery address for Gov. Bentley.

I'm just kidding. Obviously it's Obama's fault.

You'd think they would respect the sacrament of their marriage enough not to let someone else's love issues tear them apart.
