Data about Harrison Ford and Melissa Mathison from Divorce Records
A quick divorce records search revealed that Melissa Mathison, then 53
and actor Harrison Ford, then 61 had been granted a divorce. The
divorce came after 18 long years of marriage. The divorce records state
that the couple got married on March 14, 1983. They met while filming

(born June 30, 1990). Divorce records details of the settlement were
not completely revealed by the Los Angeles Superior Court. But Mathison
reportedly applied for custody of their two children.
The marriage divorce records for the “Raiders of the Lost
Ark” star and the “E.T.” screenwriter cited
irreconcilable differences as the cause for the divorce. Since the two

there was no prenuptial agreement signed – this despite the
earning potential of both parties.

to future earnings from films that Ford made while they were still
together. Melissa Mathison was awarded a share of the veteran
actor’s residual paychecks.
Related divorce records info shows that Ford agreed to split earnings
from videos, DVDs and royalties from films like the “Indiana

“E.T.” since she penned the screenplay prior to marrying
Ford. The divorce has since left Harrison Ford free to marry
“Ally McBeal” star Calista Flockhart.
