Anna J. Stanley was married to Stanley for more than 40 years; she filed for [[divorce]] on June 22, 1993, after they separated in the spring of 1992. The two of them agreed that Anna would amend the lawsuit to seek a legal separation instead ("separate maintenance"), while they were seeking reconciliation.
