In August 2024, Linda Mathis, wife of the beloved television personality Judge Greg Mathis, filed for divorce after 39 years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences. The filing has captivated fans nationwide, including many in Alabama who have long admired Judge Mathis for his wisdom both on and off the courtroom stage.
According to legal documents reported by Rolling Out on September 5, Linda, 61, officially separated from Greg Mathis on July 17. The divorce papers were personally delivered to the former “Judge Mathis” TV show star at their $5 million mansion by a process server signaling an emotional chapter for the couple who built a life together over nearly four decades. Despite the filing, the couple continues to share their home.
Linda is seeking spousal support, a common request in high-profile divorce cases, especially given their long marriage. The separation, according to reports, has been difficult for both parties, but the spotlight has intensified with Greg Mathis’ candid response to the situation.
