Marriage of balladeer and actress ending

On Behalf of The Shapiro Law Firm | Apr 9, 2014 | Divorce

Recently, news has arisen that a singer and an actress are calling it quits when it comes to their marriage. The singer is Richard Marx, who is currently 50. Marx had a string of popular songs in the 80s and 90s, including “Hold On to the Nights,” and “Right Here Waiting.” The actress is Cynthia Rhodes, who is currently 57. Rhodes’ film credits include “Staying Alive” and “Dirty Dancing.”

Marx and Rhodes got married in 1989. They have three children, all of whom are adults.

Last Friday, on the talk show “Katie,” Marx announced that the marriage between him and Rhodes is coming to an end. A representative of Marx has since said that the couple has begun the divorce process and that they separated in July.

Entering into the divorce process is a situation that many individuals here in Texas may one day find themselves in. A person often has many questions going into the divorce process, such as:

  • What are the various steps of the divorce process?
  • What things do I need to do to prepare for these steps?
  • What issues are likely to come up in relation to my divorce?
  • What implications could the divorce have financially?
  • What implications could the divorce have regarding things like child custody?

Experienced family law attorneys can guide individuals through the divorce process, help them with the various legal questions they have regarding their divorce and work to reach effective and smooth resolutions to the issues that come up during the divorce.
