Are the recent Shaq divorce rumors true? Reportedly, according to TMZ.com, the Shaquille O’Neal divorce rumors have merit as his wife Shaunie O’Neal apparently filed for legal separation in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Monday and cited “irreconcilable differences” for the reason for the split.

Shaunie O’Neal is reportedly asking for an unspecified amount of money for alimony and child support and seeking full child custody of the couple’s four minor children with visitation rights for Shaq O’Neal.

According to People.com, Shaunie O’Neal recently flew to Los Angeles and claimed herself a resident of The Golden State on Nov. 8, one day before filing the separation papers. Eventhough Shaq and Shaunie O’Neal live in Florida, Shaunie apparently claimed she is a resident of California, which has more generous community property divorce provisions than the state of Florida.
