Old Legal Feuds Divided, Linked McCain and Ex-Wife
An old lawsuit on record at a city courthouse shows a moment of friction between John McCain's mother and his ex-wife. Although records clearly list the plaintiffs, McCain's presidential campaign staff says his mother's 1980 lawsuit -- to reclaim personal items following McCain's divorce -- was filed "unintentionally." The campaign also says the senator didn't know about or authorize an unrelated 1990 lawsuit in which he and his former wife presented a united legal front over other matters.
