In a two-year span, Harlow sued Mosquini twice for divorce. The first case was dismissed, and they reconciled. The second suit brought a cross-complaint from Mosquini, and the Los Angeles Times reported on December 31, 1925, that Mosquini "will receive a divorce decree today". He also sued Mosquini's mother for alienation of his wife's affections. After obtaining a divorce from Harlow in October 1930, Mosquini retired from acting and married an inventor 26 years her senior: Lee de Forest.
