When Locke insisted that by age 10 Knuckles be taken to Mobius Prime and begin learning to live on his own, Lara-Le attempted to keep Knuckles at home, reminding Locke of their son's young age. Locke refused however as it was standard for Guardians to begin surviving on their own around that age. The issue of their son eventually proved too devastating for Lara-Le, and she subsequently divorced Locke. She tried to take Knuckles with her, but ended up losing custody of him to Locke. While the first divorced spouse of a Guardian, she retained her aristocratic status amongst her people. (KtE: #16, #20, CSE)
