Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera has a court date with his ex-mistress on Feb. 12 in Orlando, one day before spring training begins in Lakeland, Fla.
Tony Paul of The Detroit News reports:
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.
The sides have been in mediation since October, to no avail, and with the season fast approaching, it's quite possible a final resolution in the matter could be months out.
Rodriguez, the mother of two young children Cabrera isn't contesting are his, has been receiving payments in excess of $12,000 per month for several months. Early last year, Cabrera also helped Rodriguez purchase a nearly $1-million Spanish colonial home in a swanky Orlando neighborhood, overlooking a golf course.
News of the ex-mistress popped up last year during the season -- one of Cabrera's worst. He batted a lethargic .249.
