Eminem Takes Divorce Behind Closed Doors

MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich. (September 19, 2006) — Eminem continued divorce proceedings with his wife, Kimberley Mathers, in an hour-long private hearing Tuesday.

Macomb County Circuit Judge Antonio Viviano told reporters after the hearing that the case was being referred to a mediator. Lawyers for Eminem and Mathers said a date for mediation hasn’t been set.

Eminem’s lawyer, Harvey Hauer, and Mathers’ lawyer, Michael J. Smith, said they hoped the case would be settled amicably.

Mathers, who is seeking financial support, attorney fees and joint custody of the couple’s 10-year-old daughter, Hailie Jade Scott, declined comment on her way out of the courthouse.

The 33-year-old Grammy-winning rapper, whose real name is Marshall Bruce Mathers III, wasn’t seen leaving the building.

Eminem filed for divorce April 5. The couple remarried in Rochester on Jan. 14, a month after announcing they were getting back together.

Their first marriage lasted from 1999 to 2001.

Eminem has won nine Grammy Awards, including best rap album for “The Slim Shady LP,” “The Marshall Mathers LP” and “The Eminem Show.”

He won an Oscar for the song “Lose Yourself” from “8 Mile,” the semi-autobiographical 2002 film in which he starred.
