Overview

• Ashley Biden filed for divorce from Dr. Howard Krein in Philadelphia after 13 years of marriage and described the relationship as “irretrievably broken.”
• Her petition asks for temporary spousal support, an equal division of marital assets and to remain a beneficiary on Krein’s life and health insurance policies.
• Hours before submitting the filing she shared and then deleted an Instagram Story alleging her husband was with a girlfriend, but the individuals in the photo were not clearly identifiable.
• Local rules in Philadelphia’s Family Court keep certain documents sealed, restricting public access to the underlying reasons for the split.
• Court papers state Biden is willing to negotiate a settlement for approval by the judge and note that neither she nor Krein has commented publicly on the case.
