Giulianis Settle Ugly Divorce Case, Avoiding a Public Trial
Pretrial proceedings revealed the couple's $230,000 monthly spending, which enabled $12,000 splurges for cigars and $7,000 for fountain pens.
The acrimonious divorce case of Rudolph W. Giuliani and his estranged wife, Judith, a battle that had played out in court and across tabloid headlines for more than a year and a half, came to an abrupt — and harmonious — end on Tuesday evening, according to her lawyer.
The couple have resolved all their differences and financial squabbles, according to an emailed statement from Bernard E. Clair, Mrs. Giuliani's lawyer, and they "intend to remain friends in the years to come."
The Giulianis, who had been married since 2003, were to begin their divorce trial in Manhattan early next year. The details of the settlement will remain confidential, Mr. Clair added.
One of the key stumbling blocks in the public and heated divorce battle was Mrs. Giuliani's belief that her husband, the former New York City mayor who made millions of dollars a year after leaving office, owed her far more than the $42,000 monthly in support he was providing her during their separation.

Mrs. Giuliani asserted that Mr. Giuliani had deliberately taken on pro bono work as President Trump's personal lawyer to claim penury in an effort to reduce future alimony payments.

The often caustic proceedings divulged their lavish lifestyle, including a $230,000 monthly spending habit, and their six houses and 11 country club memberships. Other extravagances included Mr. Giuliani spending $7,131 on fountain pens and $12,012 on cigars.
There were the occasional courtroom outbursts; at one hearing, Mrs. Giuliani slapped her hand on a table in protest, insisting that she did not strip bare one of their homes after the divorce papers had been served.
At another hearing, Mr. Giuliani cursed aloud when Mr. Clair mentioned the name of a woman, Maria Rose Ryan, the chief executive of a small New Hampshire hospital, with whom he has traveled abroad and subsequently took as his date to a dinner at the White House for the Australian prime minister.
