As Michael Jordan runs around on the court in Washington back home in Chicago his family life is in shatters. Wife Juanita Jordan has filed for divorce from her marriage to Michael, ending the 12 year tenture between the two. Juanita seeks permanent custody of the pair's three children, the 25,000-square-foot "marital residence" in Highland Park and half the couple's property, according to Amanda Vogt of the Chicago Tribune. A petition filed Friday by Juanita cited "irreconcilable differences that have caused an irretrievable breakdown" for the seperation, adding that future attempts at reconciliation "would be impractical and not in the best interests of the family."

"It is the parties' hope that the media respect the family's need and desire for privacy in this painful matter," Mrs. Jordan's lawyer, Don Schiller, said Monday.
