Shannen Doherty Finalized Divorce From Ex-Husband Kurt Iswarienko 1 Day Before Her Death

Shannen Doherty settled a personal legal matter just one day before her death. The “Beverly Hills, 90210” star filed to officially dissolve her marriage to ex-husband Kurt Iswarienko following the pair’s contentious split. According to court documents filed in Los Angeles on July 12 and obtained by Access Hollywood, Shannen waived her right to spousal support and the dissolution was marked as “uncontested.” The papers stated that both parties had a written agreement regarding their property and rights, indicating that they’d settled out of court. The ’90s icon passed away on July 13 after a nearly decade-long battle with cancer. She was forthcoming about her journey with the illness since her first breast cancer diagnosis in 2015. After a two-year remission, Shannen announced in 2020 that the disease had returned and was Stage 4. Earlier this year, she confirmed it had spread to her brain and bones. Just weeks before her passing, Shannen accused Kurt of allegedly delaying their divorce, claiming in a filing obtained by Access Hollywood that he was waiting for her to die to avoid paying her spousal support – which his lawyer denied in a statement to People at the time, further claiming that Kurt had offered Shannen a settlement in 2023 that she had allegedly denied.
