McGreevey seeks custody of his 5-year-old daughter
The ex-governor also wants child support. He and his wife have lived apart since late 2004.

ELIZABETH, N.J. - Former Gov. Jim McGreevey is seeking custody of his 5-year-old daughter and child support from his estranged wife.
The revised divorce lawsuit by the nation's first openly gay governor does not mention the "matrimonial settlement agreement" that McGreevey originally said had resolved all custody and support issues concerning his daughter, Jacqueline.
McGreevey's wife, Dina Matos, has 35 days to respond to the revised filing.
The papers were filed last month in Union County Superior Court and were first reported in yesterday's Star-Ledger of Newark.
The filing asks the judge to assign McGreevey custody, to award visitation to the noncustodial parent, and to award him "suitable support and maintenance."
"Dina and I both seek the best interests of Jacqueline," McGreevey said yesterday. "We're asking the court to determine what's the most appropriate balance in the child's interest."
He would not answer further questions about the exact custody arrangement he would like the judge to grant. Any payments to either party would be determined by a family court judge.
Matos and her attorney, John Post, could not be reached yesterday.
"Obviously, the settlement discussions aren't going too well," McGreevey confidant Sen. Raymond Lesniak said. Lesniak said he would not reveal the content of any private conversations with the former governor.
Matos countered McGreevey's original filing claims, saying last month that the two "continue to have profound differences about what our daughter should be exposed to, and until they are resolved, there will be no agreement."
McGreevey and his wife have lived apart since November 2004. That's when McGreevey resigned, saying he had had an affair with a male staffer.
The relationship between the couple has been subject to much speculation since McGreevey's nationally televised resignation speech, in which his wife stood at his side, a dazed look on her face. People openly wondered whether Matos knew her husband was gay and whether she willingly helped hide his homosexuality to advance his political career.
Matos, who is executive director of the Columbus Hospital Foundation in Newark, has repeatedly declined requests for interviews since McGreevey resigned. She has written a book, Silent Partner, scheduled for publication May 1. Matos and Jacqueline live in Springfield.
McGreevey, who has been married twice, lives with partner Mark O'Donnell in Plainfield. He has a 14-year-old daughter, Morag, from his first marriage.
