Shaq Files For Divorce

Yesterday, Miami Heat center Shaquille O'Neal filed to divorce his wife of five years, Shaunie.

The two wed in December 2002 in a lavish ceremony. Shaq and Shaunie 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 marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken,'' says his petition, filed Tuesday by attorney Ira Elegant. 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.

I hope they had exhausted all avenues before deciding to divorce.
