Allen Iverson’s Wife Files for Divorce
Posted By Ellerin Hutchinson on Mar 10, 2010 10:15am PST
As if things for NBA star Allen Iverson couldn’t get any worse, his wife of 8 ½ years has filed for divorce.
In her divorce petition, Tawanna Iverson said her marriage to Allen was “irretrievably broken.”She also asked for temporary and permanent
custody of their five children, as well as an unspecified amount in
alimony and
child support. She is also seeking attorney’s fees and an
equitable distribution of their marital property.
The divorce filing comes a week after Iverson, who plays for the Philadelphia 76er’s, announced he will not play the rest of season in order to have more time to spend with his sick 4-year-old daughter.
Tawanna’s attorney, John Mayoue, would not comment on what led Tawanna to file for divorce. However, according to the court papers filed by Tawanna, the couple has been living separately.
The divorce petition was filed in Fulton County Superior Court in Georgia. The Iversons have lived in the north Atlanta area since August.
