Mar 5th, 2010 by Bilal Ali
Allen Iverson and his wife of 8 and a half years Tawanna. The two have had a volatile relationship for a while now.
On the heels of the 76ers firing Allen after he missed so many games because he wanted to be with their ill 4-year-old daughter, Tawanna filed the papers in the Fulton County Superior Court yesterday. According to the AJC:
In the divorce petition filed on Tuesday, Tawanna Iverson said her 8 ½-year-long marriage to the guard was “irretrievably broken.” In the petition, Tawanna Iverson asked for temporary and permanent custody of their five children as well as child support and alimony.
She did not ask for a specific dollar amount.
The children range in ages from 17 months to 15 years.
The children and their parents have lived in north Atlanta since August, according to the court filing. Before that, the family claimed homes in Rochester, Mich.; Englewood, Colo.; Denver, Colo.; and Villanova, Pa.
