The Florida Democrat claims to have been unaware of his wife’s original marriage, from which she secretly undertook divorce proceedings during the first four years of her marriage to Grayson. He is now refusing alimony payments.
According to the filing: “Unbeknownst to Mr. Grayson, Ms. Grayson was married and remained married to another man… up to and after the parties conducted an apparent marriage ceremony on April 28, 1990.”
Divorce proceedings began after Lolita Grayson accused her husband physical assault – an allegation he denies. Following this accusation, the congressman released a video shot by one of his aides, which he says shows Lolita to be the aggressor.
Grayson is not only avoiding the division of assets, but is also making moves to take full custody of their four minor children, and is seeking $15,000 reimbursement for “all the money and property she has received” during their 24 year marriage.

As well as describing Lolita as “a gold-digger” he has also accused her of defamation, libel, slander and abuse of process.
Lolita currently claims to be living off public assistance since Grayson cut financial ties.
