Shaquille O'Neal wants divorce
 

MIAMI (AP) -- Shaquille O'Neal has filed to divorce his wife after nearly five years of marriage, his attorney said Tuesday night.

Attorney Ira Elegant said the petition was filed on behalf of the Miami Heat center in Miami-Dade Circuit Court on Tuesday. It was not immediately clear who is representing Shaunie O'Neal in the case.

The Heat did not have an immediate comment, and Shaquille O'Neal did not respond to a request for comment made through the team.

According to the filing, which was first reported by The Miami Herald on its Web site Tuesday night, Shaquille O'Neal is asking Shaunie O'Neal to provide a "correct accounting of all money, funds, stocks, bonds, and other securities" that she had access to or obtained during the marriage.

They are the parents of six children; Shaquille and Shaunie O'Neal had four together, and each had one other before their Dec. 26, 2002, wedding.

Shaquille O'Neal makes $20 million annually in his contract with the Heat, plus endorsement deals that are estimated to be worth several million more each year. The couple has also listed their home on Miami Beach's posh Star Island for about $32 million, or roughly $13 million more than they paid for it after O'Neal was traded to the Heat by the Los Angeles Lakers before the 2004-05 season.

lotta money to sort through

oh yeah thats for sure

wow, didn't see that one coming....

Good luck getting out of that one with more than half. His cheating has been documented worldwide.

When she gets her Magnum PI work done he will be toast.

Anybody that gets married AFTER making that kind of money, deserves to lose half.

I would imagine so... it's going to depend largely on the laws in Florida, I imagine.

Brad

Sweet, maybe I can hookup with his Ex... :pimp

Something tells me you'd need to have a cock the size of a small car to fill those shoes! :upsidedow

I was thinking the same thing... here's my take tho.

Regardless how much $$ you have, you deserve to be happy and if marriage is that, then cool. She came into his life after he was "paid", so he wasn't broke and she knew what he was worth. I think it's different if you're both broke or middle class, then build together :2 cents:

A jewish attorney? I've never heard of such a thing.

What's next, jewish doctors?

Shazaam!

Money tears people apart. lol

Now he can go practice his free throws a little bit more

Florida has no fault divorce laws.

How much she gets won't have anything to do with who he's put his dick in. (nor should it IMO)

sounds like it'll be expensive for him .. oh well he can afford it

big money changing hands there!!

there saw that one coming ...dayam

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Get the kids, get $$$

riiiiiight, black athletes are KNOWN for their LOYALTY to WOMEN.

:1orglaugh

as expensive as this divorce gets, i would imagine him answering 'it's still worth it!'

What a sad day.

Marriage is an outdated concept, obsolete really. Those who dont want to believe that, go get married and in 1 - 10 years, you will understand.

Isn't Kobe getting a divorce as well? Thought I read that somewhere!

I concur.

When I talked to Shaq last night. He is pretty sure she has been cheating on him with his manager for quite some time.

Expensive business sportstar divorce.....

4 kids in 5 years - she's a smart cookie. Whatever she loses on alimony she'll get in child support.
