Quote:
NEW YORK -- New York Knicks coach Derek Fisher has filed for divorce from his wife, Candace.

Fisher filed the paperwork Wednesday in Los Angeles, a spokesman tells The Associated Press.

Fisher says in a statement that "this is a difficult time for me personally. For the sake of our children, I ask that everyone respects our privacy during this process."

The Fishers were married Feb. 19, 2005, and have two children together: twins Tatum and Drew. They each also have another child from a previous relationship.

Tatum has recovered from retinoblastoma, a rare form of eye cancer for which she was treated in 2007.

Fisher is in his first season as coach of the Knicks. He spent most of his playing career with the Lakers, helping them win five championships.

Not surprised based on what I was hearing about her back when they first got married. I believe she also has some kids with Marshall Faulk?

As far as I know California is pretty generous when it comes to distribution of property.

I take it you don't have kids or an ex

I've been a single father since my kid was born. If his mom and I were together my son would have witnessed many fights screaming matches and insults thrown at each other. The best thing for him was that we broke up. She's a great mom however just lousy lazy wife. My ex and I are civil and we always make it about our son when it's her weekend or mine. I never insult her in front of him always spoke highly of her in front of him and include her on anything mother father and son related. We function as a family and that what counts. My son is happy. And a has strong mind

Staying together in an unhappy marriage is not what's best for the kids.

I agree with your POV, though Fish doesn't drop a notch in my book. It does take remarkable emotional maturity for both parents to keep the domestic scene tranquil which is necessary when kids are involved. Many years ago I dated a girl whose parents divorced immediately after he high school graduation (she was the youngest of their two offspring). She felt victimized and angered at her parents. I presented the heartfelt counterpoint, that her parents were heroes as they delayed their divorce for X years. They sacrificed so that their children would benefit from being raised in a two parent household.

Perhaps 24 was ALSO referring to the fact that Fish was the king of the toe on the line 2 pointer.

Good looking guy making millions in a high-profile position in New York? Seems way too easy to find women. Also, not sure it was stated, but were the wife/kids living/going to school in NY, or still in Ca?

I'm of the same mindset as you.

I completely understand why some people divorce sometimes. I just hold someone in a little higher regard when they stay together through thick and thin for the sake of the kids. I don't necessarily drop divorced people with kids down a notch. It's just the ones that stay together get extra points.

In that, I mean that the big fights and things that parents feel would hurt the kids don't really need to happen when your #1 priority is the kids. You work it out and force yourself to respect each other and the differences because you've completely dedicated your life to the benefit of the children.

In the short term it's self sacrifice. In the long term it also leads to a stronger marriage and greater understanding and deeper love for your spouse.

That said, it's something that both spouses have to be 100% committed to. If one of them is only 90% committed, it doesn't work.

I'm surprised. Derek struck me as a staunch Christian. There must be a deep rooted reason for the divorce.

Did his family move the NYC with him?

Not an evaluation you can accurately make without knowing exactly what's going on in the household. Believe, there is plenty of damage to do to your child by staying propping up a failed marriage for appearances sake. Kids aren't stupid, they can tell what's up. More importantly they can feel the tension and contempt in the air and that is not something you want them to be absorbing.

You shouldn't have to stay married just because you have kids. You know that can make things worse? Sometimes people are better and better to their kids when they're not together. Having both parents living in the same house is not the most important thing to a child.
