In her final hours, Shannen Doherty was making personal decisions.

On July 12, one day before the Charmed star’s death, she officially ended her divorce battle with Kurt Iswarienko. 

The Beverly Hills, 90210 alum, who passed away July 13 at the age of 53 after an ongoing cancer battle, had petitioned for a dissolution of her marriage to Iswarienko on July 12, according to documents filed by the Superior Court of California. 

In the paperwork, reviewed by E! News, she noted that the “parties had entered into written agreement” regarding their property and domestic partnership rights, and that it was an “uncontested” action on both parties. 

The agreement further waived Doherty’s rights for spousal support from Iswarienko, as well as asked to terminate all support from Doherty to her ex-husband. Prior to these filings and her subsequent death, Doherty had voiced concerns that Iswarienko was waiting out her death to avoid paying her spousal support.  

“It is simply not right that Kurt be permitted to prolong our divorce in hopes that I die before he is required to pay me,” Doherty had written in documents viewed by E! News in June. “while he continues to live his life and shirk his responsibilities to his dying wife of more than 11 years.”

Doherty had further alleged that her ex had been spending “thousands of dollars at medical spas, jewelry stores, Gucci, and on flights,” while claiming he was unable to pay her spousal support.

Meanwhile, Iswarienko’s lawyer denied Doherty’s allegations—adding that the photographer had offered his ex-wife a settlement deal last October, and expressed hope for the former couple to  “put the case behind them and move forward.”

Doherty—who was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015 before it returned in 2020, metastasizing in her brain and bones—had filed for divorce from Iswarienko in April 2023, later calling their past partnership “brutal.”

“I love the idea of marriage,” Doherty—who had also previously been married to Ashley Hamilton and Rick Salomon—explained on her Let’s Be Clear podcast in April. “I believe in that, but after my last brutal marriage, what it taught me is that a piece of paper doesn't really mean anything.”

E! News has reached out to reps for Iswarienko regarding the latest filing but has not yet heard back.

“How do you possibly find the right words to sum up 30 years of friendship?” the Buffy the Vampire Slayer wrote on Instagram July 15. “I keep reminding myself it only hurts this much because, there was so much love. Thank you, for all your kind words and support. I love all the messages about how @theshando was important to you. So let’s honor her.”

"I am still processing my tremendous grief over the loss of my long time friend Shannen, the woman I have often described as one of the strongest people I have ever known," the actress, who played Kelly Taylor, frenemy of Shannen's Brenda Walsh, on 90210, wrote on Instagram. "Our connection was real and honest. We were so often pitted against each other but none of that reflected the truth of our real relationship which was one built on mutual respect and admiration."

Shannen, she said, "was courageous, passionate, determined and very loving and generous."

"I will miss her and will always honor her deeply in my heart and in my memories," Jennie continued. "My heart breaks for her family and Bowie [Shannen's dog] and all the people who loved her.

“Shocked and saddened to hear about the passing of my friend Shannen,” the actor, who played Brandon Walsh, the twin brother of the actress' character Brenda Walsh on Beverly Hills, 90210, expressed on Instagram. “She was a force of nature and I will miss her. Sending love and light to her family in this dark time.”

"Shan. My sister," the Beverly Hills, 90210 alum wrote on his Instagram Stories. "You loved me through everything. You were a big part of my understanding of love. I'll miss you more than I know how to process right now. Thank you for the gift of you."

“So young – so sad,” the Beverly Hills, 90210 and former SAG-AFTRA president wrote on Instagram. “May you RIP Shannon. I know Luke is there with open arms to love you."

"What a journey she has been on!" she wrote. "Gone too soon. Throughout, she stayed true to herself and gave us an example of courage and perseverance in facing her own death. May she rest in peace."

"It's no secret that Shannen and I had a complicated relationship, but at its core was someone I deeply respected and was in awe of," she said of her Charmed costar in a statement to Entertainment Weekly. "She was a talented actress, beloved by many, and the world is less without her. My condolences to all who loved her."

"A true lion heart," the actress, who replaced Shannen on Charmed in 2001 after she left the series, wrote in a comment on the late star's final Instagram post. "What a warrior. Your daddy is holding his best girl now."

She continued, "Love to your mama, your dog and all who love you fiercely. Love to Holly [Marie Combs]. Love to all of your legions of fans that I know you loved right back. If there was anyone who looked squarely at death and said no thanks, it was you dear Shannen. My head bows to you brave one. All love forever."

"You showed me what strength is," the actor, who played Leo Wyatt on Charmed, shared on Instagram. "You taught me to be fearless and live with purpose. To know your value and stick to your determination."

"Forever loved!" he added. "Truly heartbroken."

"I am absolutely heartbroken over the passing of Shannen Doherty." the Newsroom alum wrote on her Instagram Stories July 14. "When I was first diagnosed with breast cancer I remembered how she bravely let the world into her journey and reached out to her. We became instant friends- which I honestly couldn’t comprehend at times because watching her on 90210 was everything to me when I was 10."

"We bonded through a shared battle and a desire to help other women," she continued. "Looking back on the last text she sent me just a couple months ago, she asked how I was doing and if she could do anything for me… true to form, Shannen was offering her support even though she was in the final stage of fighting this horrific disease."

Olivia concluded her statement with a heartfelt message to her late friend. "Cancer is really f--king scary and Shannen faced it with such dignity, strength and grace," she expressed. "I’m sending all of my love to her mother who was her best friend, hero and champion every step of the way. Fly so high, my friend."

"Thank you for being here," the actress, who is battling multiple sclerosis, commented on Shannen's final Instagram post. "Thank you for showing us how to keep going. Rebel heart."
