The Yankee also reportedly argues that their divorce should be settled by their prenup that Cynthia signed in 2002.

As for their children, Rodriguez wants shared responsibility for their “wealth, health, education and religious upbringing.”

Attorneys for Rodriguez told the mag that he “requests that both parties are designated as ‘co-residential’ parents, realizing that the children are likely to spend more time with wife given the realities of husband’s professional life.”
