Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver divorce up in the air

Last year, people were shocked when news surfaced that Arnold Schwarzenegger fathered a child with the family maid. Two months after the scandal broke the couple headed to divorce lawyers to begin the process. But months later, a source close to the couple told the New York Post on Tuesday the couple is seeing a marriage counselor, leaving many to believe their divorce is off.

The rumors have some weight because Arnold and Maria have spotted together numerous times, most recently this past Tuesday eating lunch and shopping for furniture, according to TMX. They spent Thanksgiving and Christmas together at their Brentwood home, as well

The source told the New York Post, “Arnold is desperate to win her back, mostly because he realizes he can’t live without her and partly because he knows he doesn’t have the political without her.”

The source also said that divorce is not in line with Maria’s devout Catholic views so she pushed for reconciliation. 

Maria and Arnold have other things consider other than their political clout and religious beliefs. They have children together and a multi-million dollar estate. If they decide to go forward with their divorce, they will need the best divorce attorney money can buy to protect their assets.

Infidelity is one of the primary reasons couples seek out divorce attorneys to end their marriages. A small percentage of marriages survive after such transgressions.
