Gov. Jim Gibbons and his wife, Dawn, in 2008.
CARSON CITY – Gov. Jim Gibbons says he has an agreement to sell his private home in Reno, which is one of the issues holding up his final divorce from Dawn Gibbons.
Gibbons said the sale is not final and the amount “is not nearly enough.” The home has been on the market for about a year. Gibbons said the tough economy has made it difficult to sell.
Under the divorce decree, the governor is obligated to split the money from the sale with Dawn. The amount of the proposed sale has not been disclosed.
Cal Dunlap, an attorney for Dawn Gibbons, said the sale is expected to close at the end of the week. A hearing is set in court in Reno for July 21 to examine the status of the divorce, which is not final until certain conditions are met.
Washoe County Family Court Judge Frances Doherty directed the governor in December last year to pay Dawn Gibbons $275,000 as her share of the couple’s property in Elko County.
Dunlap said the governor has yet to pay any of the $275,000.
June 21 hearing? Maybe that is supposed to be July 21...
Is Gibbons going to be found in contempt of court since he has not paid his ex-wife what the courts required him to pay her? He took his girlfriend to Washington DC on his dime he said but he can't pay Dawn what he was ordered to pay?
I changed that date, Judy. Thanks for pointing that out.
I can't believe this man has treated his estranged wife like this, and gotten away with it as well!!!
We 'ordinary' folk would never get off this easily.
Get the darned thing over with and be fair about it.
I just wonder what Gov. Jimbo expects to do to earn a living after he is out of office?
Is he entitled to a Congressional pension? How much?
I suspect that if is entitled to a Congressional pension, the Mrs. is entitled to a piece of it if Jimbo can't come up with the 275K.
These questions would make for an interesting story, hint, hint Sun writers.
We just want Gibbons to do as a famous general once said .. Just fade away..
Acting, like Bob Doyle or Fred Thompson. He can play Nevada Senator Pat Geary in the next Godfather movie.

and...
the amount is "not nearly enough" out of the other side of his mouth...
