Michael Jordan Divorce Petition

This is the divorce petition Michael Jordan's wife filed on January 4 seeking to end her 13-year marriage to the NBA superstar. In the filing, Juanita Jordan cited "irreconcilable differences" in her bid to dissolve the marriage, gain permanent custody of the pair's three children, and obtain half the couple's property. In an apparent bid to cloak the divorce filing, which was made in circuit court in Waukegan, Illinois, the petition lists the plaintiff as J. Vanoy Jordan, while the basketball player is identified only as M. Jeff Jordan. (5 pages)
