WASHINGTON (AP) - A judge has agreed to halt a contested divorce between former Vice President Joe Biden’s son and his estranged wife, ordering them to try at least four hours of mediation.
Thursday’s ruling came after lawyers for both Hunter Biden and Kathleen Buhle Biden filed court papers saying they want to end their marriage without continued litigation and recognize the benefit in finalizing their divorce “amicably and privately.”
Last week’s request to put the case on hold came after Kathleen Biden accused Hunter Biden in court documents of squandering their money on drugs, alcohol and prostitutes.
Kathleen Biden filed for divorce in December.
According to media reports, Hunter Biden is now dating Hallie Biden, the widow of his older brother, Beau Biden.
