Rep. Ty Harrell and his wife are separating.

On July 2, the Raleigh Democrat's wife sued him, claiming that he had engaged in an extra-marital affair. She is seeking custody of their two children and postseparation support.

The couple married in 1991. Harrell said Wednesday that he has not seen the filing and would not comment on its allegations.

"This is a challenging time in my life," Harrell said. "My main focus is on the continuing well-being of my two sons."

This is a personal issue that the Harrell family needs to deal with. Why this made the online paper is something the News and Observer needs to answer. While this is not anywhere close to the Governor Sanford situation I have to wonder what the Democrats have to say.
