Many Minnesota basketball fans would probably agree that Allen Iverson was one of the greatest point guards to have ever played in the NBA. When his career exploded in 2001, he married his wife, Tawanna. However, the couple's marriage struggled throughout the rest of Iverson's basketball career in the United States. During his marriage, rumors surfaced that Iverson may have been unfaithful. Now, as the couple deals with a pending divorce, Tawanna has filed court documents asking the basketball player to submit a list of every woman he had sexual encounters with during their decade-long marriage.
The drama began when Iverson's wife filed for divorce in 2010. She dropped the petition when the couple attempted to reconcile their differences. Nevertheless, when the relationship ultimately failed, Tawanna filed for divorce again in the summer of 2011. In her recent petition, she requests custody of the couple's five children, child support and alimony.
These aren't the only requests. In addition, Tawanna has asked for the name and telephone number of every person whom Iverson has had intimate relations with during the course of the couple's marriage. Tawanna stated last June that her divorce had nothing to do with infidelity. However, for some reason, her position has changed. Now, as the NBA player battles through the drama and messiness of marriage dissolution, he will have to address the issue of disloyalty.
This story is an affirmation that divorce can be ugly. The process involves a lot of serious matters such as money, property, emotions and children.
While it may be difficult to end a marriage, with adequate legal help, couples can usually resolve any pending issues and happily move forward. Hopefully, this will be the case for the former NBA player and his wife.
