Alex Rodriguez (seen here coming out of his Manhattan apartment yesterday) has called his marriage "irretrievably broken" however thinks that the court should dismiss the accusation that he cheated on his wife Cynthia.  Alex points out that Florida is a "no fault" state when it comes to divorce and therefore think that the whole "affair of the heart" thing (with Madonna) that Cynthia is pulling out should be ignored.

Cynthia is asking for their $12 million estate in Florida as well as enough child support to continue with the life style A-Rod provided for his wife and daughters while they were together.  A-Rod would also like to share custody with Cynthia, his lawyers state "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."
