El conocido presentador de televisión estadounidense Larry King presentó el miércoles los papeles de divorcio poniendo fin a 13 años de matrimonio con su séptima esposa, Shawn Southwick. King ha estado casado con siete mujeres, pero éste es su octavo divorcio debido a que previamente se volvió a casar con una de sus ex esposas, para luego, de nuevo, separarse legalmente de ella.

On Wednesday well-known US television commentator Larry King presented divorce papers to end his 13-year marriage to his seventh wife, Shawn Southwick. King had been married to seven women, but this is his eighth divorce because he previously remarried one of his ex-wives and later legally separated from her. It was pointed out that the "showman's" major concern was "the welfare of the two sons born in this marriage", aged 11 and 10 years. After King's lawyers presented the papers to the court, counsel for his ex-wife, who dedicates herself to the world of music, also presented divorce documentation in Los Angeles. Both parties cite irreconcilable differences and, according to "Radar Online," Shawn accuses King of having an affair with her own sister.

I wonder what gullible woman will marry this guy next?

Ok, I tried to translate to the way I would say it in English, so it's informal and not word for word (and I added some of my own comments in parenthesis). I hope it is correct and that I have understood the Spanish! I would title this : "More Than I Ever Wanted to Know about Larry King" LOL Great idea for learning in context, Heidita!

The well known American television host Larry king presented divorce papers to his 7th wife, Shawn Southwick, on Wednesday, putting an end to 13 years of marriage. (yikes) King has been married 7 times, but this is his eighth divorce because he remarried one of his ex wives but later divorced her again (hmm). It appears that the biggest concern of the showman is for the welfare of the children of this marriage, 11 and 10. After King's lawyers presented the papers before the court, the lawyers of his estranged wife, a musician, also presented divorce papers in Los Angeles. Both parties cited irreconcilable differences and according to Radar Online, Shawn accuses King of having an affair with her sister. (eew, wife number 8?)

Hmm, the first sentence would be better translated as "filed for divorce" rather than "presented divorce papers"- that sounds awkward in English! - Jennivee, ABR 16, 2010
Yes, i agree, it has to sound as English as can be, you should have changed that. - 00494d19, ABR 20, 2010

filed for divorce

I have had a look at this exercise and I really could not find a flaw in any of the transltions.

I have voted on the ones with the above, I think to "present divorce papers" does sound somewhat off...

Some questions arose:

asesor

is the same as consejero, that is in this case: lawyers

Literally, her legal adviser.

Se apuntó que la mayor preocupación del «showman» es «el bienestar de los dos hijos que nacieron de este

Se apuntó: it was said, it has been mentioned

Después de que los abogados de King presentaran

Remember, después de que...triggers the subjunctivewink

King was married to seven women, but this is the eighth divorce because previously he married one of his ex-wives again, and then later got a (another?) legal separation from her.

After King's lawyers presented the papers to the court, the advisors of his ex-wives (? something about, dedicated to the world of his music? no entiendo mad ), also presented divorce documents in Los Angeles. Both parties cited irreconcilable differences, and, according to "Radar Online," Shawn accused King of being unfaithful with her own sister.

Looks like "asesores" is another term for lawyers?

Edit: oops, originally I had "his own sister" which is even worse!!! Clearly I haven't learned the all possessives yet. Agree with whoever said, this is way more than I wanted to know about Larry King!
