Former New Jersey governor and “gay American” Jim McGreevey will pay no alimony to ex-wife Dina Matos, the Newark Star-Ledger reports. The Episcopal preacher-in-training was ordered to pay about $1,000 per month in child support, and more than $100,000 to Matos. Matos sought $1 million from McGreevey, who claims he makes less than $50,000 a year.

“The McGreeveys clearly had agendas,” the judge said. "Mr. McGreevey's position that he was" out of work contradicted his "attending seminary and pursuing a full-time program. Mrs. McGreevey's... position of an entitlement to an extremely generous standard of living reflected her anger and disappointment as to the end of her marriage." (More Jim McGreevey stories.)
