The announcement comes the same day the case was scheduled to be heard by Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Michael Katz today. Abedin’s attorney Charles Miller released a statement, saying, “In order to ensure the proceedings have a minimal impact on their child, the parties have decided to finalize their divorce swiftly and privately.” according to Daily News.
