PHOENIX - The Arizona Supreme Court on Wednesday said it's not going to block the release of Ruben and Kate Gallego's divorce records.
The records were released on Thursday, Oct. 17.

Lake blames Gallego for border woes, he vows to protect abortion rights in Arizona Senate debate
Republican Senate candidate Kari Lake repeatedly reminded viewers Wednesday of her three-decade career on Arizona television, looking to harness the intimate connection she built with voters and overcome Democrat Ruben Gallego’s portrayal of her as a liar in the only debate of the closely watched race.
Lake emphasized Gallego's divorce during the one and only debate between the two candidates on Oct. 9.
The day after, the Arizona Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the Washington Free Beacon's lawsuit to unseal the divorce papers.
The Gallego's appealed to keep the records private, citing privacy reasons.
Their lawyers argue the records contain information about how they planned to co-parent their son, which could threaten his safety.
