Three months after they first announced their split following 27 years of marriage, Bill Gates and Melinda French Gates are officially divorced.

The ex-couple’s dissolution was finalized by a judge Monday in King County, Washington, according to court records. TMZ earlier reported that neither party will receive spousal support and that all property is divided pursuant to a separation agreement.

Washington laws stipulate a 90-day waiting period between when a divorce is filed and finalized.

Since the split was revealed on social media, there’s been intense focus on the future of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Warren Buffett, the only other trustee aside from the pair, stepped down, while the foundation announced it would add more members to the board. French Gates, 56, meanwhile, might exit her role in two years if she and Gates cannot work together.

The couple also committed an extra $15 billion to the organization. That money will go to the foundation’s endowment, which stood at roughly $50 billion before the announcement and has given away about as much over the past two decades.

Since the separation, more than $3 billion worth of shares held by Gates’s Cascade Investment has been transferred to French Gates’s name. That’s a fraction of their $146 billion fortune at the time of the announcement, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

Washington is a community property state, which means anything accumulated during marriage is considered both partners’ equally. Gates and French Gates, and their respective teams of lawyers, drew up the separation contract, which the court has granted, and will likely stay private.

Bill Gates, 65, is now worth more than $150 billion, according to the index.

“For I hate divorce,” says the Lord, the God of Israel, “and him who covers his garment with wrong and violence,” says the Lord of hosts. “Therefore keep watch on your spirit, so that you do not deal treacherously [with your wife].”

That is why they always fix their relationship on boyfriend and girlfriend status, because when they are rich, then divorce comes in it will not be funny.

The rich also cry,when we say that wealth is vanity ,many won't understand it ,many are wealthy yet very empty and bitter cos of absence of divine wisdom and character ,this is another reason why God is more important to our life absolute well-being more than riches ..those who are in Christian marriage will always relate with their spouse with love in humility enduring trials and tribulations with hope of coming out victorious ,they also enjoy eachother and everything else God have given to them in love and charity ..This couple are very generous in giving out to the needy ,I hate to See them go their separate ways ,if u can give out your hard earned dollars why stingy in giving out enduring love to your spouse..may God protect godly marriages with his ever saving grace ..may we never be unfortunate in this life to live without God's holy presence ,forgiveness is a virtue God gives to his children ,whether for themselves and for those that might offend them
