Sarah Palin and Husband Todd File for Divorce: ‘Impossible to Live Together’

Former half-term governor Sarah Palin and her husband of 31 years, Todd Palin, are filing for divorce.
The Alaska Superior Court document shows Todd Palin is divorcing the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee, citing an “incompatibility of temperament between the parties such that they find it impossible to live together as husband and wife.”
The couple tried to keep the proceedings private, using only initials in court documents, according to the Washington Examiner. They have five children together: Track, 30, Bristol, 28, Willow, 25, Piper, 18, and Trig, 11. The couple are asking for joint custody of the youngest child.
TMZ adds that Sarah Palin is worth about $12 million.
