In a dramatic legal battle, renowned pastor and author Jentezen Franklin has officially lost his appeal in the high-profile divorce case against his wife, Cherise Franklin. The ruling, which shocked many in the faith community, grants Cherise 70% of the couple’s shared assets, along with full child support funding. Additionally, all charges against her have been dropped, allowing her to walk away freely from the contentious split.
Sources close to the case say that Franklin had been fighting to retain a fair division of property, arguing that much of their wealth was built through his ministry and years of dedication to the church. However, the court ruled in Cherise’s favor, citing financial dependencies and contributions made throughout their time together.
“This is a disappointing outcome, but I trust in God’s plan,” Franklin reportedly stated after the verdict. “I will continue to focus on my ministry and family, knowing that justice, in the end, belongs to the Lord.”
Meanwhile, Cherise has maintained her silence on the matter, though sources suggest she is relieved to have reached the end of the legal process. Supporters of Franklin have expressed outrage, calling the ruling unfair, while others believe it marks a necessary closure to a long and painful chapter.
The decision also raises questions about Franklin’s future, both personally and within his ministry. While he remains a respected leader in the faith community, some speculate that the financial burden and personal loss could affect his long-term influence.
With the dust settling, all eyes remain on Franklin as he navigates life after the divorce, while Cherise moves forward with a significant share of their once-shared empire.
