Bill and Melinda Gates are now officially divorced.
The divorce paperwork finalized on Monday said that she would not be changing her name and did not offer any spousal support, which French Gates said was not necessary in her original filing.
The decisions regarding division of property were outlined in a separation agreement that was not included in Monday’s dissolution decree. Gates, 65, and French Gates, 56, first announced their divorce in a joint statement in May, saying they no longer"believe we can grow together as a couple in this next phase of our lives."
"After a great deal of thought and a lot of work on our relationship, we have made the decision to end our marriage," they said in the statement."Over the last 27 years, we have raised three incredible children and built a foundation that works all over the world to enable all people to lead healthy, productive lives."
Bill and Melinda Gates during the Allen and Co. Media and Technology Conference in Sun Valley, Idaho, on July 10, 2014.News of the divorce raised questions about how the couple's business and charitable dealings might be impacted. Gates, who founded Microsoft in 1975 and owns 1.3 percent of its shares, is a multibillionaire and one of the wealthiest people in the world. He has not served as Microsoft's chief executive since 2000 and stepped down from the board last year.
