Alex Rodgriguez: How much will he pay?
Posted By Brian D. Perskin on Jul 7, 2008 10:19am PDT
A-Rod's wife filed her divorce petition in Florida for a reason. In New York, as long as Alex has a pre-marital agreement, his wife will only be entitled to enforce the terms of the agreement. Since Alex got married after he signed his first mega contract, it is safe to assume that he has a valid
pre-nuptial agreement. All the hype about the divorce filed is good media. Nobody will benefit financially and the only losers are the children who will have to read or hear about their father's conduct. Clearly, Alex's wife will get physical custody of the children, as he is playing baseball all over the country for almost the entire year. Instead of trying to embarrass her husband and their children, she would have been better off having a private settlement with Alex and keeping this case out of the press. Nobody will win, and the public settlement will probably have been the very similar to the one that could have been done privately. But then the lawyers would not get the publicity they may be seeking.
