Track Palin, the eldest son of former Alaska governor Sarah Palin, is reportedly ending his marriage to Britta Hanson after a year and a half.
The couple, who were former high-school sweethearts, are jointly petitioning for divorce, reports TMZ.
Shortly after they got married, Track, now 23, and Britta, 22, announced the arrival of their first child, a girl named Kyla Grace Palin.
Track is an Army Reservist who spent a year deployed in Iraq with a Ft. Wainwright Stryker Brigade.
At the time of his marriage it was reported that he had planned to study at the University of Alaska after the commercial fishing season.

I don’t see anything wrong with posting this story. I’m very interested in the Sara Palin and her family.
I’m very sorry to hear this news, but I’d still rather know about it than not.
If it is true the couple filed for joint divorce, or either filed for divorce, it is a matter of public record in the courts. No one’s birth certificate or college or military or SS records are matters of public record unless brought up i a suit in which case they would still be sealed.
Love is a choice.
There are various emotions which are also called “love”, but these are often variable and sometimes fleeting.
Love is an act of the will, a commitment. Once it is made, the various feelings labeled “love” usually make their appearance. This time they are often mostly stable and permanent.
Commitment is far more important than “compatibility”, finances, physical appearances or even “hot sex”. Again, once there is commitment, these other things usually follow.
thank you.... though I am sure there are those you will be flaming their response to you
There’s a recent study that notes the biggest contribution to the “acheivement gap” between whites and minorities in school is due to the single-parent households. Kids do much better with both parents.
But I have trouble finding people much younger than me who believe that “making a relationship work” is actually something you could do. It’s all about how they feel. If they don’t think they are getting the most out of a marriage, they will happily move on. I call it selfish.
But that’s just the way it is — people think their own happiness is the most important thing in the world, and that’s what movies and TV teach us, that we should all find what is best for us, and if that is your motivation, it is pure, and therefore unquestionable.
Sadly, conservatives, and deeply religious families, are not immune. This is two for the Palins. I’ve got elders in my church with kids who get their girlfriends pregnant, and girls who get pregnant, and are now single fathers or single mothers.
It’s a shame.
Libs will be all over this, or other things like this, and beating it like a drum. How do you respond to them knowledgeably? (Not that it really matters to a lib)
Yeah; and a friend named her daughter JAZZ when they lived in New Orleans years ago. I guess names are in the ears of the hearers as to their preferences.
Those entering into shotgun marriages never had the kinds of commitments to real love inspired by an act of the will; the early pregnancy indicates a devotion to emotion rather than will.
Society has a big interest in limiting divorce, because it bears the massive costs of unmarried women and their children living in or near poverty. States will wise up one day and reinstate stringent cause factors before allowing marriages to be dissolved.
ending their marriage WAY to soon..after only 1 1/2 years they barely know each other. Why do people give up so easily??? They were madly in lve, dated, married, had a baby, and now they are giving it all up...I absolutely can’t understand that. (we have 51 years under our belt)
If those are “some of the silliest names for kids” you’ve seen’ you need to get out more.
All of those names are English names of long standing — in addition to the meanings specific to Alaska and the Palins (as mentioned by dainbramaged).
Sarah has already explained how they came up with the names for their children..........
Our daughter named her first son Auggie....
Our oldest son “Chris” married a gal “Christy”... they named their first born “Christian”... no confusion there...
Mrs p6 and I took some heat for naming our second son “Andrew James”....I have no idea why people thought that was odd.
...and you’d have to be a resident of Alaska and living the lifestyle her family does to fully understand why.
The thread is only 34 posts old, give it a little time........
Some threads are interesting and some not. Just pick what you want to read.
IT IS TIME TO LEAVE THE PALIN FAMILY ALONE...THIS COUNTRY HAS SERIOUS PROBLEMS AND IT IS NOT THE PALINS FAULT...SO WHY DOES IT BELONG HERE???

Well, I’m sure that had nothing to do with it. /S
Sorry to hear this, they seemed like a nice couple.
That's a very solid, worthwhile response. You're right, it's better to come to terms with a situation such as this among good-hearted, like-minded people here on FR than elsewhere. Thanks for that thoughtful perspective.
It is really none of my business nor concern.
