The TMZ website has reported that former NBA player Shelden Williams, the husband of reigning WNBA Finals MVP Candace Parker, is filing for divorce.

Williams is also demanding spousal support and is seeking joint custody of their seven-year-old daughter.

Per the TMZ website:

"WNBA superstar Candace Parker has just been hit with divorce papers from her husband, a former NBA player, who's demanding spousal support from the 2016 Finals MVP ... TMZ Sports has learned. 

We obtained court docs filed by Shelden Williams -- a former Duke star who was the #5 overall pick in the 2006 NBA Draft. 

Williams played in the NBA for 6 seasons.
Williams and Parker were married back in 2008 -- and have a 7-year-old daughter together. 

According to the divorce docs, Williams says the two separated back in August and are living apart. Now, he wants to officially end their 7 year marriage, citing irreconcilable differences. He's asking for joint custody of their kid. 

But get this ... Williams -- who reportedly made more than $12 MILLION during his NBA career -- is demanding spousal support from Parker. He also wants her to pay his attorneys fees.  

FYI, Parker reportedly makes in the low 6-figures with the L.A. Sparks -- but crushes it overseas, where reports say she hauls in more than $1 MILLION per year."

Parker led the Los Angeles Sparks to the 2016 WNBA championship, averaging 19.3 PPG, 8.7 RPG, and 3.2 APG throughout the playoffs as her team defeated the Minnesota Lynx in five games.
