Jennifer Hudson's sister Julia has been granted a divorce from William Balfour nearly three years after he was accused of murdering their mother, brother and Julia's seven year old son Julian...
Courts records show Julia Hudson was granted a divorce from William Balfour in December 2011 on the grounds of extreme mental cruelty. William did not contest the ruling.
William and Julia eloped in December 2006 shortly after William was released from prison for attempted murder when he was 17. Jennifer Hudson won the Oscar two months later.
Opening arguments for William's murder trial began next Monday.
