Kathleen Biden broke down crying in court on Friday as her divorce to Joe Biden’s son Hunter was finalized, marking the end of a tumultuous split that included drug and cheating allegations and a romantic affair between Hunter and his dead brother’s widow.

Hunter, 47, who has been living in Delaware with his former sister-in-law, Hallie, did not show up at the hearing at D.C. superior court.

Kathleen, 48, wept quietly as she told the court that she and her husband of two decades had lived separately for the past six months and there was no reasonable prospect of reconciliation. At one point, the judge briefly paused the proceedings to pass her a box of tissues.

Kathleen wore a black sheath dress and cardigan and dabbed at her eyes as the judge signed the divorce decree.

‘I appreciate the emotion that is often present in matters such as this,’ said Judge Craig Iscoe.

Kathleen filed for divorce in December. Although she accused her ex-husband in court records of blowing the family’s savings on drugs and prostitutes, neither side contested the divorce and they reached a private settlement agreement.

Hunter has been dating Hallie, the 43-year-old widow of his late brother Beau Biden who passed away from brain cancer in 2015, for the past few months.

He and Kathleen were married in 1993, and would have been celebrating their 24th wedding anniversary this July.

Kathleen is still living in the Washington, D.C. home she shared with Hunter, who she kicked out in July 2015 and then apparently allowed back in at some point last year.

Kathleen had asked for sole custody of her minor child in her divorce documents filed on December 9 of last year.

That is over a year after Kathleen claims she and Hunter formally separated in October 2015, which was three months after she kicked him out of their home on July 5, 2015 because of 'his conduct the night before.'

Kathleen does not detail that conduct in her filing, which would have occurred one month after Hunter lost his brother Beau to brain cancer.

The divorce papers cite 'irreconcilable differences between the parties concerning Defendant's conduct' as the reason for terminating the union.

Kathleen later gets a bit more specific in a motion she filed back in February, claiming that Hunter's 'drug use and infidelity' played a role in the split.

In court records obtained by the Dailymail.com, Kathleen accused Hunter of spending ‘hundreds of thousands of dollars of marital funds' on his own interests – including ‘'drugs, alcohol, prostitutes, strip clubs and gifts for women with whom he had sexual relations.'

She claimed the former vice president’s son left the family with 'no funds to pay legitimate bills' and ‘maxed-out credit-card debt.’

'The parties' outstanding debts are shocking and overwhelming,' said Kathleen in the Feb. 27 court filing. She added that they had 'bounced three checks to their housekeeper and owe medical providers and therapists for outstanding bills.’

Kathleen also claimed that Hunter was in possession of a ‘large diamond’ worth approximately $80,000, which he had allegedly concealed from her.

After the Dailymail.com reported on the court records, the couple petitioned the judge to seal the file, but the judge declined. Since then, Kathleen and Hunter have quietly reached a confidential settlement agreement related to financial and custody issues.

Hunter and Hallie have yet to be photographed together since news of their relationship broke, and DailyMail.com caught the two going to great lengths to avoid the cameras when they were both spotted at a Walgreens in early March.

Hunter and Hallie both exited the store separately after their trip to the pharmacy and drove off in different vehicles.

When news broke of the new couple, Joe and Jill provided a comment stating how happy they were for the couple.

There was no mention by the Bidens however of Kathleen.
