Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and her husband Todd Palin have filed for divorce in Anchorage Superior Court.
Citing "incompatibility of temperament between the parties such that they find it impossible to live together as husband and wife," the court document, filed on Friday, uses initials instead of full names, but lists the date of the Palin marriage and the birth date of their child, Trig, 11, who had Down syndrome, for whom they filed joint custody.
Anchorage attorney Kimberlee Colbo is representing Todd Palin, 55, and has asked the court to keep the case confidential. In addition to Trig, the couple has four adult children: Track, 30; Bristol, 28; Willow, 25; and Piper, 18.
Sarah Palin, also 55, rose to prominence during the 2008 presidential election, when the former mayor of Wasilla was chosen by Arizona Sen. John McCain as his vice presidential candidate. The photogenic couple — Todd Palin was known in Alaska as the "First Dude" and was a champion snowmobile racer — were an immediate media sensation.
Sarah Palin was first elected as Alaska governor in 2006 and resigned in 2009. She later became a populist voice in the Republican Party, a prominent figure in the rise of the Tea Party, and was one of the first to endorse President Trump when he was a candidate.
