Overview

• Ashley Biden filed a no-fault divorce petition in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas, declaring her 13-year marriage with Dr. Howard Krein irretrievably broken.
• Her filing requests interim spousal support, continuation as a beneficiary on Krein’s life and health insurance policies, and coverage of her legal fees.
• The petition seeks equal division of marital assets and expresses her willingness to negotiate a fair settlement to avoid protracted litigation.
• Hours before submitting her divorce papers, Biden posted then-deleted Instagram stories that included a photo she captioned “My husband and his girlfriend holding hands” and other posts hinting at a new phase in her life.
• Neither Biden nor Krein has commented publicly on the proceedings, and local court rules restrict access to detailed divorce filings.
