It was reported a few weeks ago that Tareq Salahi's wife, Michaele, had run off with Journey guitarist, Neal Schon. Tareq had initially believed Michaele was kidnapped. However, on the heels of finding out that she had run off with another man, Tareq has filed for a divorce. In a petition for dissolution of marriage filed in Virginia, Tareq states as follows:
"Over the objections of me, she continually exposes our friends and acquaintances to her adulterous relationship and has flaunted the same throughout the community, the nation and indeed the world, and thus caused ... me to suffer great harm, humiliation, and embarrassment,"
Tareq also states:
"There is no hope or possibility of reconciliation," he said, adding that he "has been greatly hurt and disturbed" by her actions
The couple were married for nearly 8 years, a short-term marriage under California standards. They do not have any minor children.
To add more drama to the Salahi divorce, Michaele has locked her husband out of all Journey concerts. Indeed, she has placed signs with his picture up, warning people not to allow "this man" backstage despite his all-access pass. Looks like this divorce is going to get nasty!
From an Orange County divorce lawyer's perspective, the couple have a prenuptual agreement. Indeed, Michaele might lose more than her marriage by running off with Schon. According to the Salahi's prenuptual agreement, obtained by TMZ, she is stripped of any rights to money or property accumulated during their marriage if she cheats, and she forfeits her right to spousal support if she moves out. It'll be interesting to see how this all plays out in court. Stay tuned!
