Barack and Michelle Obama divorce: Did the former POTUS slapped his wife with divorce papers and refused alimony?

Barack and Michelle Obama are rumored to be heading for divorce. And based on the reports, it was the former POTUS who initiated the split by supposedly “slapping” his wife with divorce papers.

According to a report that appeared on Globe, Barack delivered the divorce documents to his wife, and this was done in secret. It was said that the former president of the United States wants out because he is fed up with their “toxic marriage.” It was claimed that the couple is constantly having nasty fights that it would be better for them just to end their marriage for the peace of everyone.

The start of the divorce rumors

It seems that many people believe that Michell and Barack are breaking up because an apparent proof is there for everyone to see. The tabloid claimed that the couple had been photographed without their wedding rings, and they are certain that this is due to the fact that their marriage is crumbling down.

“Michelle had divorce papers drawn up by her lawyers, and the word is Barack has taken things a step further by serving Michelle with papers of his own,” the supposed tipster allegedly told Globe. “She was shocked as you can imagine, but now she’s conspiring with her lawyers to squeeze Barack for as much money as she can.”

Talks about the divorce settlement

As per the report, Michelle wants huge alimony, but Barack is not willing to give in to her demands. It was said that the 58-year-old finds her demands concerning financial support really ludicrous because he knows that she can easily earn for herself, so she doesn’t need financial support from him.

It was added that Barack declined his soon-to-be ex-wife’s demand because he is aware that she can always go back to work without a problem, and she can do it anytime. He pointed out that she is a writer and has a law degree, too, so she has lots of options.

However, Gossip Cop strongly refuted this story because it pointed out that Michelle and Barack have the habit of taking off their wedding rings when they are attending public events where they would be shaking the people’s hands. They want to avoid losing their rings while they get distracted from greeting everyone through a handshake. Lastly, GC stated that the sources who supposedly spilled the beans about the couple’s marital woes were determined to have no connection to either of the spouses.
