Sarah Palin's husband Todd files for divorce

Sarah Palin's husband, Todd Palin, has filed for divorce, citing "incompatibility of temperament" and the fact they "find it impossible to live together as husband and wife," NBC News reports.
The Palins have been married for 31 years and have five children. The paperwork was submitted on Aug. 29, and in a filing made Friday in Anchorage, Todd Palin requested the dissolution of the marriage. Only initials were used in the filing, but the details match the Palins' marriage date and the birthday of their youngest son. Todd Palin is asking for equal separation of their assets and debts.
Sarah Palin, the former governor of Alaska, rose to national prominence in 2008, when the late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) brought her on board as his running mate after he secured the Republican presidential nomination.
