Iverson's wife files for divorce

Posted: June 17, 2011

Allen Iverson's wife has filed for divorce for the second time in 15 months, according to a report by TMZ yesterday.

Tawanna Iverson, who reconsidered after filing for divorce last year, refiled on Monday in Fulton County, Ga., saying her 10-year marriage is "irretrievably broken."

According to the report, Tawanna Iverson is seeking sole custody of the couple's five children. She's also asking for child support, alimony payments and her share of the couple's assets.

The 36-year-old Iverson - who played 11-plus seasons with the Sixers - signed a 2-year, $4 million contract last October with the Turkish club Besiktas. He was plagued by injuries, however, and only played in 10 games.

Last week, the 11-time All-Star said he is looking to return to the NBA.
