TMZ announced Cleveland Cavalier Shaquille O'Neal's wife has filed for a legal separation. Shaunie O'Neal  abruptly took the kids and flew to California to file for a legal separation.

Shaq's representatives believe it's all about the money. The O'Neal's reside in Florida but Shaq's wife filed papers in L.A. although Shaunie has only filed for a legal separation to date she's stated she intends to file for divorce listing 'irreconcilable differences' as the reason.

TMZ also reported on Shaunie's flying to California  to file with the reasoning being a spouse usually does alot better in the spousal support department there. Shaq's wife is seeking spousal  and child support with no specific dollar amount reported to date. The couple have four minor children and have been married for almost seven years.

    A spouse should have to file for divorce in the last state that the two parties held residents. If you are going to live a state with someone for whatever the benfits are, you should also have to accept the whole package the stae offers.
