Olympic gold-medal-winning skier Lindsey Vonn and her husband, Thomas Vonn, have announced they will be divorcing after four years of marriage.
Lindsey Vonn said she will keep her married name. She was known as Lindsey Kildow before her 2007 marriage.
"This is an extremely difficult time in my personal life and I hope the media and my fans can respect my need for privacy on this matter," she said in a statement.
In addition to being her husband, Thomas Vonn coordinated his wife's interviews and served as a quasi-coach. He said he is ending all input concerning her career.
From an Orange County divorce lawyer's perspective, if the couple were to divorce in the State of California, with respect to spousal support, the recipient spouse would only be eligible to obtain spousal support for one-half of the length of the marriage considering this is a marriage of short duration (less then 10 years).
At any rate, the couple do not have any children so any disputes concerning child custody and child visitation would not be raised.
