Only a few days after it was finalized, the divorce records of Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton have been sealed, which may be illegal.
Last year, Oklahoma legislators passed a new law that, according to the Oklahoman, allows judges to seal civil, divorce and other court records that are normally public only if there is a compelling privacy-related reason that outweighs public interest. The judge must make the sealing order public and is only allowed to seal the pieces of the case that need to be kept confidential.
The judge sealed all of the paperwork and did not make the sealing order public. Attorney Irven Box says that he believes that Shelton and Lambert's divorce records were sealed as a favor because of the two artists' celebrity statuses, adding, "There were a lot of irregularities in that divorce."
Fellow attorney and former state Representative Aaron Stiles does not agree. "There's some shenanigans going on," Stiles, an attorney who wrote the law, tells the newspaper. "Oh, yeah, they're definitely not following the law on it. I can't imagine a scenario where you would ever seal an entire civil or divorce case."
