Prime Time can legally be called Full Time..as far as parenting goes.
To say Deion Sanders divorce trial has been contentious would be putting it lightly. From financial matters to charges on both sides of abuse, this couple need to be as far apart as possible.
Deion and wife Pilar Sanders split in December 2011, but the relationship has been public since before the breakup. The two were married in 1999 and even appeared in a reality show together called "Deion and Pilar Sanders: Prime Time Love".
The Collins County, TX jury ruled that the couple would both have legal and physical custody of their 9-year-old daughter, Shelomi, but a judge ruled that Deion would be given primary custody of his two sons, Shilo and Shedeur. The judge also let stand the prenuptial agreement signed by the couple. In the divorce proceedings, Pilar Sanders had contended that her signature had been partially forged, according to NBCDFW.com.
The colorful Sanders was known as much for his flamboyant behavior as his play on the field. Heralded as one of the best pure athletes to play two sports, Sanders played for the Falcons, 49ers, Cowboys, Redskins, and the Ravens in his 16-year career. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of fame in 2011. He would also be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame the same year. Sanders is currently a football analyst for ESPN.
According to RumorFix, "Pilar's legal team was caught completely off guard. She found out as she was driving up to pick up her daughter at school today. The whole thing is unbelievable. She has been a stay at home mother all their children's lives."
