Last year, Shaquille O’Neal filed for divorce from his wife of 6 years, Shaunie, stating “The marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken”  The Kazaam star b-baller stated his wife was “secretive about her assets.”  Um dude, you have a 100 million dollar contract with the Miami Heat - shouldn’t you have an accountant and a team of lawyers taking care of your assets together as a couple?  And to Shaunie, did you really feel like you needed to hide those new Jimmy Choos from Shaq?  I’m sure he wouldn’t have minded.  Of course, it ran deeper than a few trips to Rodeo Drive.  The latest on Shaq’s marriage is that the  couple is reconciling, Shaunie has stated that like all marriages, the little things added up to one big thing - divorce.

Money can really come into play when a divorce is in full swing.  Take the case of Tricia Walsh-Smith, the former wife of Broadway mogul Philip Smith.  During their divorce Tricia took to the internet with a series of YouTube video berating her husband’s sexual prows and his family.  Her antics didn’t fair well in court and the judge stuck strictly to the terms of the prenup.

Money makes the world go ’round and couples work day in and day out to support each other and their families but when a marriage is reduced to financial bickering it’s time to look a little deeper to find the root of the problem.
