CHARLESTON, S.C. -- South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford's divorce will become final next month, just over a year after the first lady discovered his affair with an Argentine woman he later called his soul mate.

Family Court Judge Jocelyn Cate said Friday she plans to OK Jenny Sanford's request to split from her husband of 20 years. The divorce will become official in mid-March.

She filed for divorce in December on the grounds of adultery, saying reconciliation efforts with her husband had been unsuccessful.
