Ex-gov and estranged wife spar on visits

ELIZABETH, N.J., Oct. 2 (UPI) -- The latest skirmish in former New Jersey Gov. James McGreevey’s divorce battle is over where to hand over his daughter during visits.

McGreevey effectively ended both his political career and his marriage in 2004 when he announced “I am a gay American.” Since then, much of his personal life has become public with his book, Dina Matos McGreevey’s book and a series of hearings in family court.

In the most recent dispute, Matos McGreevey claimed she was doing more of the driving when their daughter Jacqueline spends time with her father, The Star-Ledger of Newark reported. McGreevey suggested as a compromise that they hand over the 5-year-old at a Barnes & Noble (NYSE:BKS) bookstore in Clark, which happens to be closer to his home than hers.

Matos McGreevey contends the new drop-off point would add 8.71 miles and 17 minutes to her travel time, while saving McGreevey 3.49 miles and seven minutes. Matos McGreevey also argues the location is too public.

Last week, Judge Karen Cassidy asked a court-appointed monitor to find a good private spot for the handovers.
