Finally, New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez responds to his wife’s request for divorce. It has been almost a month since things remained up the air, without any statement from his part. According to People, court documents that will be filed on Thursday state that Alex Rodriguez says his marriage is “irretrievably broken,” criticizing Cynthia Rodriguez for talking about his alleged “extra marital affairs and other marital misconduct.”

Alex Rodriguez also said that the prenup Cynthia signed in 2002 should be enough to settle their divorce. She signed the prenup “with the assistance of counsel of her own choosing, freely and voluntarily ... and with full and complete financial disclosure of husband's income, assets and liabilities,” said the documents.

Moving on to the children, A-Rod wants shared responsibility for their “wealth, health, education and religious upbringing,” saying that due to his job, the children will spend more time with Cynthia, but he still wants to share the custody, hoping they would agree on a time-sharing custody schedule without interference from the court. The Yankee player admits that Cynthia is a “loving and nurturing mother.”

Alex Rodriguez’s attorneys Alan Kluger and Jason Marks said that “husband requests that both parties are designated as ‘co-residential’ parents, realizing that the children are likely to spend more time with wife given the realities of husband's professional life,” reported People Magazine.

A-Rod agreed to pay child support and said he would ask the court to establish a fair amount.

In her petition Cynthia Rodriguez asked for their $12 million waterfront estate and “equitable distribution” of all the assets that were acquired during their five year marriage.

Also, Alan Kluger said that both parties wanted to take care of the situation amicably.

“Cynthia and Alex are both very good people and they both have the best interests of their kids at heart. This is a tough time for both of them and they prefer to handle this matter as privately and amicably as possible,” said Kluger, according to the New York Daily News.
