McGreeveys Reach Deal on Custody of Daughter

Former Gov. James E. McGreevey and his estranged wife settled child custody matters on Thursday as they moved closer to dissolving their marriage, their lawyers said.

The deal for custody of their 6-year-old daughter came on the third day of negotiations, which included some closed-door testimony before state Superior Court Judge Karen M. Cassidy, who was trying to avoid a divorce trial.

The couple and their lawyers are scheduled to return to the Union County Courthouse on Monday to begin settlement talks on remaining issues, including alimony and child support.

Should those succeed, the final issue would be Dina Matos McGreevey’s claim of marriage fraud.
