Rep. Ilhan Omar's Marriage History Under Fire, See Her Second Divorce Docs
Key Points:
- Rep. Ilhan Omar's divorce from Ahmed Abdisalan Hirsi was finalized on November 5, 2019, with court documents detailing custody and asset division arrangements.
- The couple agreed to joint legal and physical custody of their three children, who primarily live with Omar in Washington, D.C., while Hirsi was granted generous parenting time and Omar covers travel expenses.
- Neither party was ordered to pay child or spousal support, but Omar agreed to cover medical and school expenses, and both waived future financial claims against each other.
- Omar and Hirsi's relationship has a complex history, including a previous split, her marriage to Ahmed Nur Said Elmi (alleged to be her brother), and reuniting with Hirsi while still legally married to Elmi.
- Omar's marriage to Elmi is under renewed scrutiny amid allegations that it was arranged for immigration purposes and that Elmi may be her brother.
