Miguel Cabrera cut off child support after wife's ultimatum, new paternity suit filings claim

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Detroit Tigers star Miguel Cabrera cut off all contact with his mistress and ended financial support for their two children after being given an ultimatum by his wife last spring, according to claims in a new court filing.

The arguments were made by Belkis Mariela Rodriguez in a court filing to support her bid for temporary child support Monday in Orange County Circuit Court.

The proceedings were closed to the public and the judge's ruling on the matter -- if he has made yet made one -- is unknown.

Rodriguez argued that the divorce filing by Cabrera's wife, Rosangel, prompted Cabrera to change his phone number and unilaterally end child support for his two children (age 5 and 2) by Rodriguez.
