Former U.S. Sen. John Ensign, who resigned amid a Senate Ethics Committee investigation in 2011, finalized a divorce from his wife of 31 years last week.
Ensigns resignation followed a scandal stemming from an affair he had with the wife of one of his top aides. The divorce between Ensign and his wife, Darlene, was finalized on Thursday, according to court records.
Neither Ensign nor his attorney returned calls for comment. A representative at the office of Darlene Ensigns attorney said the firm was not interested in providing comment.
The court documents show that the parties agreed to the terms, including $1,500 in child support for their disabled adult son, who will continue to live with Darlene Ensign. The couple also agreed to a martial settlement agreement that was not included in the divorce case file.
