An insider stated,
“They’ve been having issues for a while now. They tried to work through them, but it didn’t work. They’re still committed to being good parents to their children.”
Letourneau’s attorney, David Gehrke, Vili was the one that filed for divorce. The couple will be contesting for the legal custody of their two daughters, Audrey and Georgia. The attorney also added,
“She could try to contest it, but that’s legally tough to do. Perhaps if they want to figure out about the children and child support, but their kids are getting pretty old now.”
Even though their relationship had a lot of ups and downs, the couple overcame all odds and married but in the wake of the current situation, their reconciliation seems highly unlikely.

Mary and Vili relationship took an ugly turn when her husband discovered a love letter written by Vili. He turned that letter to the police, and Mary got arrested for second-degree child rape in 1997.
On May 23, 1997, she gave birth to their first daughter, Audrey. Upon getting out of jail on parole, she shocked the world when she and Vili were having sex in her car and later police spotted them and arrested May.
The court ordered a 7 and a half year of jail and during the sentence, she gave birth to their second daughter, Georgia on October 1998.
After her release in 2004, the couple tied the knot on May 20, 2005, in a nuptial ceremony held at a winery in Washington.
Well, for now, the controversial chapter between the two of them have ended, and for good, it seems.
