A-Rod’s filing points out that Florida is a no-fault divorce state and claims that adultery allegations have no place in the dissolution litigation. While it is true that Florida is a no-fault state (meaning that the only grounds that one must prove are that the marriage is “irretrievably broken”), the alleged adulterous affairs could possibly be relevant to a judge when dividing the couple’s marital property. Florida laws allow the court, while deciding how to split the marital estate, to consider any factor which might be necessary to do justice for the parties. In the Rodriguez case though, the judge may not have to do anything regarding property. They apparently signed a prenuptial agreement a month before their 2002 wedding. Cynthia has not explicitly asked the court to invalidate the agreement but has asked the court to review it to determine whether or not it is enforceable. Alex’s response seeks enforcement of the prenup - which presumably is to his financial advantage.
