Settlement talks in McGreevey divorce case

Lawyers representing the nation's first openly gay governor and his estranged wife ended the first day of their scheduled divorce trial reporting progress in settlement talks.

"We are happy to report on behalf of both of our clients that they have made progress toward settling their case," lawyers for Gov. Jim McGreevey and Dina Matos McGreevey said in a joint statement. "We continue to work to that end and will return to court tomorrow afternoon."

Testimony was delayed Tuesday as the two sides held nearly seven hours of closed-door meetings before Union County Superior Court Judge Karen M. Cassidy. Court Clerk Sandy Thaler-Gerber said the discussions involved custody of the couple's 6-year-old daughter - their only child together.
