In July 2014 Mr. Griffin filled a divorce petition in Cook County Illinois citing "irreconcilable differences" with his wife. According to the divorce petition filled by Mr. Griffin, the couple had entered into a prenuptial agreement which governed the split of their assets in the event of a divorce. As part of the agreement Ms. Anne Griffin received $22.5 million at the beginning of their marriage and received an additional $1 million each year they were married. In court fillings Ms. Dias Griffin claimed that she had been forced to sign the prenuptial agreement. In later court filings Ms. Anne Griffin requested $1 million per month in child support payments. The breakdown included $300k per month for private jet travel, $160k per month for vacation rentals and $60k per month for office space and staff. Mr. Griffin claimed that Ms. Anne Griffin was attempting to use child support to fund her "opulent lifestyle". During the divorce Ms. Anne Griffin requested $450,000 for a 10-day vacation to St. Barts over winter break with their 3 children. Mr. Griffin denied her request but agreed to pay $45k for a winter vacation. Mr. Griffin and Ms. Anne Griffin finalized their divorce in October 2015. The divorce was settled out of court just hours before a public trial over the prenup agreement was set to begin. Mr. Griffin maintains joint custody of his children with his ex-wife. The divorce drew much press and tabloid attention. In an interview with the "WSJ" Mr. Griffin called the experience "a chapter I wish I could edit out".
