Actress Kate Walsh Finalizes Divorce 2

Kate Walsh and Alex YoungPrivate Practice/Grey’s Anatomy actress Kate Walsh has reportedly settled her divorce from husband Alex Young. Walsh and her divorce attorney Laura Wasser hammered out a settlement, finalizing the divorce which lasted as long as the marriage.

The couple married in September 2007 and split in November 2008.

According to court documents, Young was awarded $627,000 for his share of the community property. He originally sought spousal support but was denied. Walsh was awarded the marital home. They split the artwork and furniture as well as the residuals for the “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Private Practice” episodes Walsh filmed while they were married.

“One-half of the community property furniture and artwork to be divided by alternating picks after the flip of a coin to determine who will pick first,” their settlement agreement reads.

This settlement seems very simple for a divorce that was so publicly bitter and took over a year to resolve. Our guess is that Young thought there was a lot more money available for distribution than actually existed. And when the big picture was finally clear, they couldn’t set aside animosity long enough to even divide the furniture – thus the coin flip decision.
