A day before Detroit Tigers' spring training officially gets under way in Lakeland, Fla., later this month, Miguel Cabrera will be 55 miles away, pleading his case in an Orlando courtroom as his ex-mistress requests additional child support for their two children.

On Feb. 12, Cabrera is expected to be in attendance for a temporary-relief hearing, during which a judge is expected to rule if Belkis Mariela Rodriguez should receive more than the monthly payments she's already been receiving while the lawsuit, filed in August, continues to drag on, with no end in sight.
