SANFORD, Fla. (AP) George Zimmerman is officially divorced.
The Orlando Sentinel (http://goo.gl/egEIya) reports that a Seminole County judge signed the divorce order Tuesday, ending his marriage to Shellie Zimmerman.
Shellie Zimmerman filed for divorce in September 2013, two months after George Zimmerman was acquitted in the fatal shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. Later in September, Lake Mary police responded to their home after Shellie Zimmerman called 911, saying George Zimmerman had threatened her and her father with a gun. No charges were filed.
Divorce proceedings took so long because the former couple fought over how to split millions expected from a defamation lawsuit against NBC Universal Media LLC. A judge eventually tossed out the suit.

Shellie Zimmerman stuck by her husband after he was charged in the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, but this week her marriage to George Zimmerman officially ended.
A Seminole County judge granted a divorce to the couple Tuesday, which was initially filed by Shellie Zimmerman on Sept. 5, 2013.
The divorce decree cites irreconcilable differences as the reason for the separation.
George Zimmerman was charged with second-degree murder and manslaughter in Martins Feb. 26, 2012 death.
He was acquitted of the charges on July 13, 2013.
Shellie Zimmerman said her husband only spent a few nights at the home they shared in the days following the trial. She moved out on Aug. 13, 2013.
It was no secret that Shellie Zimmerman was unhappy in her marriage. In an interview on Good Morning America after the trial she said she was going to have to think about staying married to George Zimmerman.
The terms of the finalized divorce give George Zimmerman possession of his 2008 Honda Ridgeline and the family dog.
Other property had already been split up and Shellie and George Zimmerman were awarded whatever was already in their possession.
George Zimmerman is responsible for the legal fees stemming from his murder trial, which total $2.5 million, court documents said.
Concerning a defamation lawsuit George Zimmerman filed against NBC, divorce documents awarded Shellie Zimmerman up to $166,000 after her ex-husbands legal debts were satisfied.
In suit against NBC, which is on appeal, Lawyers claimed that NBC edited Zimmerman's 911 call the night of the shooting to make it sound like the former neighborhood watch volunteer was a racist.
In the call, Zimmerman did not mention Martin's race until a dispatcher asked.
"OK, and this guy, is he white, black or Hispanic?" the dispatcher asked.
"He looks black," Zimmerman replied.
But in a series of reports on NBC in March 2012, the dispatcher's question was edited out, which Zimmerman said made it appear as though he was suspicious of Martin only because the teenager was black.
If either Shellie or George Zimmerman decides to sell their story of the events surrounding Martins death, they will not have to share with each other any of the proceeds, the divorce decree said.

George Zimmerman is finally divorced – Guns.com
After more than two years, the divorce between George Zimmerman and his now former wife, Shellie, is final as of Tuesday.
The couple, who married in 2007, filed for divorce shortly after Zimmermans second-degree murder trial ended, but disputes over assets real, imagined and hoped-for dragged the legal battle out for some time.
Apparently the couple was anticipating a hefty payout from a defamation lawsuit Zimmerman, now 32, filed against NBC Universal Media LLC, but the lawsuit was tossed out by a judge and Zimmerman received nothing, after an appeal was also shot down.
In the end, Zimmerman got to keep his 2008 Honda pickup, as well as the couples dog, but he is now responsible for all of his own debts, including the $2.5 million he reportedly still owes Mark OMara, who represented him during his infamous trial and subsequent acquittal.
Zimmerman was also responsible for cutting Shellie a check for $166,000, but as with Zimmerman her own debts, including her loans for nursing school, are now her own problem.
The good news is that if Zimmerman ever sells his life story, the profits from said endeavor all belong to him, but the same goes for his ex-wife, who likely has a story of her own to tell.
The couple seems somewhat satisfied that the divorce is finally over and done with.
The Zimmerman affair has indeed ended in the proverbial whimper, not a bang, said Shellies attorney, Kelly Sims.
Im honestly thinking Im happy, Zimmerman said of the divorce. I can start a new chapter in my life.

George Zimmerman is officially single.
Following the conclusion of his 2013 murder trial for killing Trayvon Martin, Zimmermans wife Shellie filed for divorce and after 2 1/2 years later its finalized, according to the Orlando Sentinel.
"I'm honestly thinking I'm happy," he said. "The divorce is concluded, and I can start a new chapter in my life."
The proceedings started when his now ex-wife filed divorce papers on Sept. 5, 2013.
The following week, police were called to the Zimmerman home when Shellie said her husband threatened her with a gun and clocked her dad in the face.
After that, George Zimmerman counter-sued for divorce.
The legal wranglings stretched out for more than two years, in part because the feuding spouses bickered over how to split the millions they hoped to get from a defamation suit against NBC Universal.
Zimmerman launched a lawsuit after the news network reported that he volunteered that Trayvon was black during a 911 call the night he shot the unarmed 17-year-old.
Ultimately, a judge tossed out the defamation suit in 2014, the year after Zimmerman was acquitted of murder.
In the course of the divorce proceedings, Zimmerman moved out and then in January 2015 he was arrested for aggravated assault of a girlfriend after he allegedly threw a wine bottle at her.
Later, the woman recanted and the prosector declined to press charges.
On Tuesday, a Seminole County judge signed the order that finalized the notorious Floridians divorce.
According to the terms of agreement, Zimmerman was supposed to give $166,000 of the anticipated settlement money to Shellie and use another $2.5 million to pay the tab owed to defense attorney Mark OMara.
In the end there was no settlement, so there werent many assets to split but, after nine years of marriage, Zimmerman gets to keep the pickup truck and the dog.
Zimmerman, 32, is responsible for his debts, while his 28-year-old ex will be resonsible for hers.
"The Zimmerman affair has indeed ended in the proverbial whimper, not a bang," Shellies attorney told the Orlando paper in an email.
