OKLAHOMA CITY — An Oklahoma County judge has granted a request to vacate the divorce of a woman whose former husband fatally shot their two children before killing himself last month.

Wednesday’s ruling by District Judge Don Deason allows Michelle Thorson to collect benefits from the military.

“From the bottom of my heart ... I tell you I’m sorry,” Deason told Thorson.

Her attorneys said after the hearing the ruling was the only way the longtime stay-at-home mom could get any money or health care from the military to make a new life.

“She would have received nothing,” attorney Lynn Loftis of the Women & Children’s Law Center in Oklahoma City, said in a story copyrighted by The Oklahoman.
