Instead, on Friday, the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services asked that Aubry attend anger management classes, and he agreed.  The department’s request comes after a nanny for Aubry reported to Berry and police that he had pushed her while she was holding 3-year old Nahla.  Aubry faces charges of child endangerment and battery.

Friday, department officials also recommended that both Aubry and Berry attend parenting classes to help them learn how to better co-parent, and that Nahla begin counseling sessions, before they determine custody.  The couple was due back in court yesterday to hopefully settle their child custody case.

Tina, 57, and Mathew Knowles, 60, were married for 31 years, but separated in 2009 when Tina learned that Matthew had fathered a child with another woman.  Mathew Knowles denied that the child was his, but paternity tests taken after the child’s birth in February 2010 proved that he is.  Later, sources revealed that Mathew Knowles had an 18-month affair with former “Scrubs” actress Alexsandra White, the child’s mother.

Tina filed for divorce a month after learning of the child.  However, the case was dropped because both Tina and Mathew failed to appear for a court date.

 Tina Knowles subsequently refiled for divorce in August 2011.

According to Forbes Magazine, Perry earned an estimated $45 million in the 14 months the two were married.

Brand made much less, pulling in around $6 million to $8 million. The two were married in a private ceremony in India in October 2010 but are legally married in California.

According to California law, divorcing spouses without a prenuptial agreement must split their assets 50/50. That means Brand could walk away with more than $20 million. The two also reportedly own a $6.5 million mansion in Los Angeles that will be included in their divorce proceedings.

Divorce rates for adults 50 to 64 have nearly doubled since 1990. Since 1990, the numbers increased from 6.9 divorces per 1,000 marriages to 12.6 in 2009. Overall divorce rates among all age groups dropped from 18.95 to 17.92. Some believe the numbers are rising for older generations due to the challenges that can arise when a spouse retires.

Matters of estates and finances are likely to be a cause of concern in older couples due to wills, inheritances, and the involvement of grown children and (possibly) children from other marriages.

military divorces reached a new high.  The current military divorce rate of 3.7 percent is the highest it has been since 1999, according to the U.S. Department of Defense.

Before this year, the divorce rate among military service members had stayed steady at 3.6 percent for about two years.  Officials say the increase in the divorce rate was mostly caused by an increase among officer corps members.  The officer corps divorce rate increased by .2 percent between 2010 and this year.  Enlisted service members divorced at the same rate this year as last year — 4.1 percent.

The Air Force’s divorce rate is the highest of the military with a rate of 3.9 percent.  The Army’s divorce rate is currently 3.7 percent and the Marines Corps and the Navy have a divorce rate of 3.6 percent.
