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.
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 know, I just thought he was a family man and really wanted to stay married. Six kids to worry about, and he wants Shaunie to have primary custodial. He’s not crazy, he rather pay child support than raise six kids.
Sheila:
I’m laughing, Shaunie saving money on the side. If you’re hiding money like that, you know the relationship will be ending soon.
Lisa C:
I want them to stay together, but it’s not my relationship.

It would be great if they could stay together but apparently she was preparing for a rainy day…and from Shaq’s statements, it must be storming :)
