Alex Rodriguez's Wife Files Divorce Papers
Cynthia Rodriguez has had it with her baseball player husband Alex Rodriguez. Cynthia's lawyers filed divorce papers in Miami-Dade County Circuit Court on Monday, July 7, less than a week after Madonna denied she was having an affair with the Yankees player.
It appears A-Rod's latest scandal was the last straw for Cynthia, who, in court papers, claims her marriage is "irretrievably broken because of the husband's extramarital affairs and other marital misconduct."
The petition for dissolution of marriage also states, "Alex has emotionally abandoned his wife and children and has left [Cynthia] with no choice but to divorce him."
The soon-to-be exes, who married in 2002, have two daughters — Natasha, 3, and 2-month-old Ella. Cynthia is seeking primary custody of the girls.
In addition, Cynthia is asking to keep the family's $12 million home in Coral Gables, Fla., as well as her automobile. She also wants Alex to "maintain the existing lifestyle of the children," which includes child support, private school tuition and life and health insurance.
Cynthia has also requested alimony, payment of her attorney's fees and that A-Rod pay off their existing debt. While a prenup was signed before their marriage, court papers indicate its validity may be challenged.
Neither Alex nor his reps have commented on the divorce filing or his relationship with Madonna. His attorney in Miami only said he had not reviewed the divorce petition, but added: "As you know, anyone can pay the filing fee and make allegations."
Tell us what you think: Did Cynthia make the right move? Should she have kicked A-Rod to the curb sooner?

What Rich MAN in his right mind would ever be so stupid as to get involved in the most one sided contract against him that he will ever see (marriage) but they do because they are idiots and get eactly what they deserve from their former partner. Love is the illusion that one woman differs from another.
