Wife of Titans All-Pro tackle files for divorce
According to court documents filed Monday in Williamson County Chancery Court, Stephanie Haynesworth alleges irreconcilable differences and inappropriate marital conduct as the reason for the divorce.
She is asking for alimony and custody of the couple’s two children plus Albert’s oldest son, who she says she has cared for since 2004. The couple was married in October 2003.
‘This is a really difficult time for our family, we hope that you will respect our privacy as we work through this difficult time and keep us in your prayers,’ Haynesworth said Tuesday in an e-mail through his agent, Chad Speck.
Haynesworth is coming off his best season as a professional. He had a career-high six sacks in 2007, was named an All-Pro and voted to the Pro Bowl as a starter for the first time in his career.
The Titans designated Haynesworth as their franchise player Feb. 20, but he is not under contract. He did not join the team in the offseason program that started Monday. The only way Haynesworth can take part would be to sign the tender worth approximately $7.8 million, which would be 120 percent of his salary for 2007.
