Shannen Doherty Was Granted Rare Posthumous Divorce 2 Days After Her Passing

Shannen Doherty and Kurt Iswarienko were in the final stages of divorce when she died on July 13.

Now, the Associated Press reports a judge granted a rare posthumous divorce two days after her death.

The papers, obtained by The AP, stipulated that Doherty keep their Malibu home, a Salvador Dalí painting, multiple cars, and her acting earnings.

The wire service adds that high-profile divorce attorney Laura Wasser helped Doherty with the final paperwork.

Earlier this week, Us Weekly reported that Shannen and Ken jointly filed paperwork on Friday to proceed with the divorce uncontested, and submitted a declaration for default of dissolution of their marriage.

The court docs stated, “This matter is proceeding as an uncontested action.”

Notably, Doherty waived her right to spousal support. Just last month, Doherty filed paperwork asking for $15,343 per month in support and another $9,100 in attorney fees.

The new paperwork stated Shannen would “knowingly give up forever any right to receive spousal or partner support.”

Shannen initially filed for divorce in April 2023 after 11 years of marriage. They had no children together.

NBC News previously reported that Doherty’s team filed court docs in June accusing Iswarienko of dragging out the divorce.

Shannen stated in the papers, “It is abundantly clear to me that Kurt is intentionally delaying settlement in hopes that I will not survive the divorce proceedings.”

She added, “His overt efforts to delay our divorce — by promising to willingly provide information and then failing to do so until served with formal discovery — have caused me tremendous stress and aggravation during an already difficult time. I would like the peace of mind to focus on my health, and no longer wish to engage in Kurt’s sadistic push and pull game.”

At the time, attorneys for Iswarienko did not respond to NBC News’ request for comment.
