Kobe and Vanessa Reconcile

 Posted on January 27,2013 in Divorce

Kobe Bryant and his wife Vanessa have been married for over 10 years, and Vanessa filed for divorce in December 2011. However, according to a recent report by the Chicago Tribune, the two have reconciled.

Bryant is considered by many to be one of the greatest basketball players in NBA history. However, his fame has not been without scandal. Most memorably, he was accused of sexually assaulting an employee of a Colorado hotel back in 2003. He married his wife just two years before the accusation, in 2001. Eventually the charges against Bryant were dropped when his accuser refused to testify against him. Bryant and his wife remained together through the scandal. There was not an announcement as to why Vanessa filed for divorce in 2012, but there was some speculation that her filing had something to do with his alleged affairs.

Kobe made the announced on Facebook that he and Vanessa were moving on with their lives as a family. Vanessa chose Instagram as her social media outlet. She stated that she was pleased to announce that she and Kobe had reconciled and that all of the divorce action was going to be dismissed. This is certainly great news for not only them but also their two daughters, who are 10 and 6 years of age.

A high asset divorce such as those in celebrity families can be especially tough because there will always be questions about the money and what was made while the marriage was going on and what was brought into the marriage as individual property. If you are going through a divorce, do not make the mistake of thinking that you do not need to have a Lombard, Illinois divorce attorney there representing your interests. Having legal representation will ensure that you will get a fair amount when it comes to issues of alimony and child support.
