As of late, the Kardashians have been on the receiving end of the most celebrity news. On the other hand, Kenny G, who is not particularly known for making ripples in the headlines, recently announced to the public that he and his wife are splitting it up. The saxophonist is ending his relationship after 20 years of marriage. As is the case for Florida families in similar situations, this particular marriage could conclude with a complex divorce.

The musician, whose legal name is Kenneth Gorelick, and his wife are currently filing for a legal separation. However, there are indications the couple has been at odds for a while and will likely file for divorce.

Though Kenny G is often a pop culture punch line, his eventual divorce might be anything but a laughing matter. The star is worth nearly $50 million, according to reports. In addition, the couple had two sons together during the span of their two decade marriage. Simply put, there could possibly be a drawn-out legal battle to negotiate asset division, spousal support, child support and child custody. Anytime children are involved in a divorce, the situation is automatically more sensitive.

Kenny G has found a tremendous amount of commercial success, as far as instrumentalists are concerned. Additionally, his marriage was not a brief affair; he and his wife spent many years with each other. Any couple dealing with a complex divorce, particularly if they have a great deal of assets to divide, should seek out advice from an experienced legal professional. This way, the relationship can end as amicably as possible. Hopefully, Kenny G and his soon-to-be ex-wife will consider the welfare of their children and choose to split peaceably.
