September 5, 200719 yr Shaq files for divorce Posted on Tue, Sep. 04, 2007Digg del.icio.us AIM reprint print email By JOAN FLEISCHMAN jfleischman@MiamiHerald.com SETH BROWARNIK/OCEAN DRIVE Miami Heat center Shaquille O'Neal wants to divorce Shaunie, his wife of nearly five years. "The marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken," says his petition, filed Tuesday by attorney Ira Elegant.Miami Heat center Shaquille O'Neal wants to divorce Shaunie, his wife of nearly five years. ''The marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken,'' says his petition, filed Tuesday by attorney Ira Elegant. The O'Neals have four children together -- Shareef, 7, Amirah, 5, Shaqir, 4, and Me'Arah, 1. Shaq has a daughter, Taahirah, and Shaunie has a son, Myles, from previous relationships. The family lives on Miami Beach's exclusive Star Island. They bought an $18.8 million estate in the summer of '04, at the time of his trade to the Heat. It is for sale -- No. 32 is asking $32 million. Shaq, 35, and Shaunie, 32, wed Dec. 26, 2002, in a lavish ceremony at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Shaq, then with the Lakers, gave Shaunie a ring with 17 carats of diamonds. The two have a ''Cohabitation/Prenuptial Agreement and Acknowledgment of Property Disclosure and Waiver of Further Disclosure,'' the petition says. A copy of their agreement ''will be filed . . . under seal'' -- if the court allows -- and ``contains extensive provisions providing for confidentiality and non-disclosure.'' In the petition, O'Neal refers to the Star Island mansion as ``the former marital home.'' Shaunie, he says, has been ''secretive about her assets . . . particularly with respect to certain properties owned or titled in either [her] name alone or in other entities.'' He wants the court to order Shaunie to give a ''correct accounting of all money, funds, stocks, bonds, and other securities (including bearer securities)'' that she came into during the marriage. He makes $20 million a year, with three years left on a five-year contract worth $100 million. Shaunie should be ''primary residential custodian'' of their children -- meaning they'd live with her -- and he should get ''liberal rights of visitation,'' he says. Neither the O'Neals nor Elegant could be reached for comment. No word on who represents Shaunie. Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Roberto Pineiro has the case. http://www.miamiherald.com/459/story/225735.html

September 7, 200719 yr You want shock value? Wait till you see what his monthly child support check is going to be.
September 7, 200719 yr I got a friend in the courts here in Miami Dade. From what he tells me his wife had a Cuban trainer that was, well, banging her. There was a pre-nup and it was Shaq who filed for the divorce. Bitch done f***ed up!

I cant exactly say how he knows, why he knows etc he just does and I believe what he tells me. He has been right before in other cases like the Bill Kamal case, he had given me the whole scoop on the deposition before it was public.
September 7, 200719 yr The divorce petition/complaint is public. Unless there have been other documents submitted which are not public which he has access to, your friend doesn't know any more than we do.

There was a pre-nup and it was Shaq who filed for the divorce. Bitch done f***ed up! Lame. I agree totally with LeBatard's comments on PTI a couple of days ago. Shaq has been known as the family values guy. Maybe not directly, but for a long time he's been the athlete that has a good heart. He's always with his wife and kids, acts like a kid himself, and is always doing a good amount for the community around him. It's pretty shocking stuff.
September 7, 200719 yr I heard the same thing on the radio this morning. Seriously, what a dumbass this woman is. Oh well.
September 7, 200719 yr I have a feeling they both cheated. I remember Mr. Microphone Head in Los Angeles acused him of cheating on her. I guess we'll never know.

September 7, 200719 yr I know multiple people (mostly non-sports fans) that have said they've seen Shaq out and about with different women. Checking into different hotels and what not. Now his wife is apparently cheating. Whatever. Who cares? Let it be. Worry about what he does on the court.

He might have been doing it because it was already over and he had found out about her cheating on him. Maybe separated.
