The Blast reported that actor William Shatner of Star Trek fame has completed his divorce proceedings with his fourth wife, Elizabeth.

The marriage has ended now and he is legally free to restart dating.

William, 88 has a wonderful net worth of $ 100 million. But since he had signed a prenuptial agreement with his last wife Elizabeth, he will not be officially paying any spousal support to her.

The prenuptial agreement has laid down all the specifics about how they will divide the money and assets in the eventuality of a divorce. Hence, things are pretty clear on that front.

The couple, William, 88, and Elizabeth, 61 wed in 2001. Elizabeth’s full name is Elizabeth Anderson Martin.

She was a co-writer for the song ‘Together’ on William’s album Has Been which he released in 2004.

The next year, William married Nerine Kidd Shatner but she died in 1999 due to drowning secondary to an alcohol and Valium overdose at the age of 40. The coroner and police did not suspect any foul play.
