An old lawsuit on record at a city courthouse shows a moment of friction between John McCain's mother and his ex-wife. Although records clearly list the plaintiffs, McCain's presidential campaign staff says his mother's 1980 lawsuit -- to reclaim personal items following McCain's divorce -- was filed "unintentionally." The campaign also says the senator didn't know about or authorize an unrelated 1990 lawsuit in which he and his former wife presented a united legal front over other matters.

An old lawsuit on record at the city courthouse reveals a moment of friction between John McCain’s mother and his ex-wife. Years later, McCain and his former wife presented a united front in a lawsuit of their own.
McCain, the Republican candidate for president, calls the first lawsuit a mistake and says he never authorized the second. Both legal actions were settled out of court before they went to trial.
