BAKKERS' DIVORCE FINALIZED

Former television evangelist Tammy Faye Bakker was granted a divorce Friday from her husband, Jim, who is serving an 18-year federal prison sentence for fraud and conspiracy in his PTL ministry.

Tammy Bakker, 48, won custody of the couple's 16-year-old son, James Clarke Bakker. Neither Bakker made any claim for alimony before Circuit Court Judge Hal S. McClamma.

The Bakkers were married April 1, 1961, in Minnesota.
