Old Kid on the Block is in divorce court

BY JOAN FLEISCHMAN





In Miami-Dade divorce court: Daniel W. Wood, one-time member of the teen pop
group New Kids on the Block, and Patricia Alfaro. He filed. Married for nearly
eight years, they have two daughters -- Chance, 7, whom they adopted from
Russia, and Vega, 6.



Wood says Alfaro has a ''bad temper'' and that he was ``subjected to two acts of
violence.''

False allegations, she says -- ''to cover up his own misdeeds.'' His
``extramarital affairs have caused the breakup.''



Wood, 36, and Alfaro, 34, are each fighting to become primary residential
parent.

''The husband exhibits stability, a close relationship with the children and is
actively involved in their day to day activities,'' says his petition, filed by
attorney Andrew Leinoff. ``The wife has not devoted herself to the child rearing
and has delegated the majority of the responsibilities to the husband . . . Her
lifestyle is not very stable; she is unable to properly care for the children.''

Not so, says she. Wood ''does not have the stability or a greater ability to
care for the children,'' says her counterpetition, filed by attorney Carmen M.
Morales. Alfaro insists she is the ``more fit and proper parent.''



Circuit Judge Gerald Hubbart appointed attorney Christy Hertz guardian ad litem
for the children. Hertz will represent their interests in court and make
recommendations on custody and visitation issues.



Wood now works as a private investor. Alfaro is a musician and songwriter.



Both have sons from prior relationships. Wood has custody of Daniel Wood Jr.,
12. She has custody of Anthony, 13.



NKOTB was huge in the late '80s and early '90s.
