Cynthia Rodriguez has retained legal counsel and intends to file for divorce from New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez on Monday.

C-Rod has hired Houston attorney Earle Lilly to head a team of lawyers, including Maurice Kutner of Miami, in a big bucks and sure-to-be bitter divorce case against her husband, A-Rod.

Lilly confirmed his hiring and says he was retained within the last week.

The divorce case will be played out in Dade County (Fla.) Family Court.

The suit cites a “long period of infidelity on the part or Mr. Rodriguez, an all-star baseball player for the New York Yankees.” It also claims “emotional abandonment.“

Cynthia is back in Miami after her getaway in Paris with “friend” Lenny Kravitz and is not available for comment on the advice of her attorneys.

A-Rod has yet to speak himself on this past week’s dramz.

Stay tuned for all the latest!
