One of Shannen Doherty's final acts is Chainkeennow complete.
Hours before she died July 13 at the age of 53 due to cancer, the Charmed star finalized her divorce from husband Kurt Iswarienko and was granted a rare posthumous divorce two days later, according to the Associated Press.
Court documents obtained by the outlet showed that Shannen and her lawyer Laura Wasser were working through the final details very shortly before her passing, with the agreement stipulating that the Beverly Hills, 90210 alum was to keep the couple's Malibu home, a Salvador Dali painting, several cars and all earnings from her acting work.
A judge signed off on the agreement and declared Kurt and Shannen—who didn't have any children—legally divorced on July 15, two days after her passing.
Documents filed to the Superior Court of California stated that the "parties had entered into written agreement" regarding their property and domestic partnership rights, and that it was an "uncontested" action on both parties, per the filing obtained by E! News.
Shannen—who was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015 before it returned in 2020, metastasizing in her brain and bones—had filed for divorce from Kurt in April 2023 after 11 years of marriage. In court documents obtained in June, Shannen alleged that Kurt was dragging out their divorce proceedings so she would die before the photographer needed to pay spousal support.
"It is simply not right that Kurt be permitted to prolong our divorce in hopes that I die before he is required to pay me," Shannen wrote in the documents, "while he continues to live his life and shirk his responsibilities to his dying wife of more than 11 years."
Kurt's lawyer denied the claim, saying he had previously offered Shannen a settlement deal in October, adding he hoped they could "put the case behind them and move forward."
In recent months, the podcast host had reflected on how her views on marriage had changed since their split.
"I love the idea of marriage," Shannen—who was previously married to Ashley Hamilton and Rick Salomon—explained on her Let's Be Clear podcast in April. "I believe in that, but after my last brutal marriage, what it taught me is that a piece of paper doesn't really mean anything."
