TRENTON, N.J. - A lawyer for former Gov. James McGreevey's former wife said Thursday she will drop a charge that she was duped into marrying him if he agrees to pay her $109,000 that a judge says he owes.

Dina Matos' lawyer John Post said the fraud claim filed by his client will be dropped if McGreevey makes full payment and agrees not to appeal the judge's divorce ruling.

A private meeting with the judge in the case is scheduled for Monday.

Matos has claimed that McGreevey, who resigned from office in 2004 after declaring himself "a gay American," duped her into marriage because he needed the cover of a heterosexual relationship to advance his political career.
