Ira Elegant on Elin Woods!

No, not like that.

Ok, maybe not the best headline, but amid reports that Elin Woods may receive as much as $100 million plus child support, none other than our own uber-mensch Ira Elegant weighs in on the proposed settlement and the possibility they may file it in a po-dunk county to avoid press scrutiny:

Ira M. Elegant, a Miami-based lawyer who has represented New York Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez and NBA star Shaquille O'Neal in divorce proceedings, said Woods' camp would have a hard time fooling anyone over the venue.

"The first thing somebody in the clerk's office would do is pick up the phone, and it would probably get out by word of mouth before they even dialed," he said.

Limiting what's in the filing, experts say, would be Woods' best chance to keep details private.

In Florida, a financial affidavit and a child-support worksheet, both requiring detailed assets and income statements, are among the documents that must be completed. There have been cases, however, where the court has allowed those numbers to remain blank. There's also a possibility that a judge could seal the filing in "the best interests of the children."

"If you can find a sympathetic judge, it's possible to keep a lot of information out of public record," Elegant said.

If you can find a sympathetic judge, you can do a lot of things.

Swingers and Alan Kluger -- SFL Friday

So it's a slow news day, it's Friday and I'm bored. Is this thing on? Where the hail is everybody -- the roads are clear, the usual nutjobs at the circuit courthouse don't seem to be around, and I can almost walk down Flagler without having to see anybody that I dislike or think is a jerk.

Almost.

A-Rod fanatics, you can see Alan Kluger's "she signed a prenup" filing here. Pretty clean, I think, but what happened to Ira? A haimisher mensch like Ira you want in your corner, believe me. Just ask Shaq. Of course, those who like a different type of swinging will be here.

I know what I'll be doing, how about you? Whatever it is, have a great weekend.

Maurice Kutner Lands a Big One

All you naysayers take note -- this one could be very big:

Capping a week of rumors about her husband's alleged infidelities, the wife of New York Yankee superstar Alex ''A-Rod'' Rodriguez is expected to file for divorce in Miami-Dade Circuit Court on Monday, The Miami Herald has learned.

Cynthia Rodriguez, 35, who wed the Miami-bred slugger in 2002, claims the marriage is over because of Rodriguez's extramarital affairs. The couple own a waterfront home in Coral Gables.

In recent days, Rodriguez, 32, had been linked to Madonna, 49, by New York papers, which said Rodriguez was spotted leaving the Material Girl's Park Avenue apartment late at night. Madonna's own union to director Guy Ritchie has also been reported to be on the rocks.

Madonna vehemently denied a romance with the All-Star in a statement released to People magazine on Sunday.

In the divorce, Cynthia Rodriguez is represented by attorneys Maurice Kutner and Anthony Sabatino, both of Miami, and Earle Lilly and John Van Ness of Houston.

''She feels that she has exhausted every opportunity to salvage the marriage, and that Alex has emotionally abandoned her and the children and has left her with no choice but to divorce him,'' Kutner said Sunday.

The former Cynthia Scurtis married the third-baseman, a Miami-Dade Westminster Christian High School graduate, on Nov. 2, 2002 in Dallas, Tx. They have two children, Natasha, 3, and Ella, who is 3-months-old.

The couple is said to have a prenuptial agreement, drawn up on Oct. 3, 2002, a month before their marriage.

Late last year, Alex Rodriguez, the son of Dominican parents, signed baseball's highest contract - a 10-year, $275 million deal with the Yankees.

Prenup, eh? I wonder who prepared that document? If they did like Big Ira -- with the videos, witnesses, all the bells and whistles, A-Rod should be in good shape. Otherwise, get ready for WWIII.
