Reese Witherspoon has filed for divorce from husband Ryan Philippe, court documents showed, confirming the couple’s separation after a seven-year marriage.
Lawyers for Witherspoon lodged a divorce petition with a Los Angeles court seeking physical custody of the couple’s two children and preventing Philippe from claiming spousal support.
It has been reported that the couple did not sign a pre-nuptial agreement, which means that under California law, Philippe is entitled to half of the couple’s fortune earned since their marriage.
The couple, who have a seven-year-old daughter and a three-month-old son, announced their separation in a statement last month.
