Shannen Doherty agreed to finalise her divorce from ex Kurt Iswarienko one day before she died.

Doherty signed documents to settle the divorce on July 12 while Iswarienko signed the papers on July 13, the same day that Doherty died at age 53

According to court documents obtained by People, the late actor signed a filing to waive spousal support. She also agreed to a "default or uncontested dissolution" of their marriage, indicating the two had mutually finalised their divorce proceedings outside court.

"The parties have entered into a written agreement regarding their property and their marriage or domestic partnership rights, including support, the original of which is being or has been submitted to the court," the documents read.

Iswarienko signed the document the following day.

Doherty and Iswarienko tied the knot in October 2011. The Beverly Hills, 90210 star filed for divorce in April 2023 after 11 years of marriage, with her rep telling People at the time, "Divorce is the last thing Shannen wanted."

Prior to Doherty's death, the two had been involved in a contentious back-and-forth divorce battle, with Doherty even alleging in documents earlier this month that Iswarienko was dodging spousal support by being "permitted to prolong our divorce in hopes that I die before he is required to pay me".
