Mary-Kate Olsen Files for Divorce After Her Emergency Petition Was Rejected

Mary-Kate Olsen is moving forward with her divorce from estranged husband Olivier Sarkozy after her emergency petition for divorce was rejected.

The eight-week suspension on non-essential or non-emergency criminal and civic court proceedings has been lifted by New York courts and Mary-Kate‘s lawyers officially filed the divorce papers on Monday (Monday 25), according to New York Daily News.

Earlier this month, Mary-Kate‘s legal team had requested that the judge grant an emergency order to allow her to file for divorce, but she was denied.

Mary-Kate had signed her petition for divorce on April 17, but the divorce has been in limbo amid the pandemic.

It has been reported that Olivier ordered Mary-Kate to move out of their apartment in New York City by May 18 and that he terminated the lease without her knowledge. She requested that she be given until May 30 so that she could abide by quarantine guidelines.

Here’s what a source is saying about one of the reasons for the divorce.
