Martin Lawrence Announces Divorce

A comedian announced his divorce last week from his wife of two years. While they had a short marriage, Martin Lawrence and wife Shamicka Lawrence were together for fifteen years before getting married. This is the second time that Lawrence is seeking a divorce, the first for his wife. The pair has two daughters together, both in their teens. In a recent statement to the press, the Lawrences stated that they "will remain friends and raise our two beautiful daughters together" in a respectful manner. At this time, neither party is discussing the reasons for the divorce, only that they plan on working together to make their children happy.

The announcement came as Lawrence finished his nationwide comedy tour. Are you considering divorce? If so, discuss your case with a family law attorney as soon as possible.
