Courteney Cox Files Her Own Divorce Papers
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Television, Divorce, Legal Issues,
Courteney Cox has filed her own divorce papers against estranged husband David Arquette.
The former Friends actress filed the papers on June 8 - the same day as David filed his - at Los Angeles Superior Court as a response to the Scream 4 actor, citing "irreconcilable differences" as the reason behind the split.
It was the same reason David cited in his papers, and like her former partner, Courteney wants joint legal and physical custody of their eight-year-old daughter Coco. The Cougar Town star - who also requests to officially drop Arquette from her last name - is representing herself without lawyer, just like David.
The couple got together after meeting of the set of the first Scream film in 1995 and married in 1999, but separated in October 2010. At the time they released a statement saying, "We are comfortable with the boundaries that we have established for each other during this separation and we hope that our friends, family, fans and the media also show us respect, dignity, understanding and love at this time as well."

Kim Kardashian's lawyer says Kris Humphries' hurt feelings are delaying the couple's divorce. Kim filed legal papers in October to end their union after only 72 days of marriage and while she wants a divorce, Kris is seeking an annulment, with his lawyers asking for more time to gather information to decide whether to pursue allegations that the couple's marriage was a fraud.
However, the reality TV star's attorney Laura Wasser said they are eligible for a divorce since it has been more than six months since Kim filed her petition. "I feel that (Humphries') personal feelings and maybe some media drive is keeping this case alive. Certainly, they've been separated longer than they've been married," she said in court today.
The estranged pair are currently each footing their own legal fees but Ms. Wasser warned if the case goes to trial and Kim wins, she will ask that Kris pay her hefty expenses. Superior Court Judge Stephen Moloney told both sides to return to court on August 15 for a status hearing.

Martin Lawrence has filed for divorce, citing "irreconcilable differences." The Bad Boys actor submitted the documents in Los Angeles County Superior Court just one day after they announced their separation last week.

The Lawrences' representative said at the time of their parting ways, "Martin and Shamicka Lawrence have decided to divorce. The couple has made the joint decision to part ways."
They released a joint statement, saying, "Out of love and respect for one another, we will continue to remain friends and raise our two beautiful daughters together."
Nicollette Sheridan Granted ‘Desperate Housewives’ Retrial

Nicollette Sheridan has been granted a retrial in her case against Desperate Housewives.
The actress claims she was wrongfully dismissed from the show following arguments with its creator, Marc Cherry, but the first trial ended in a hung jury. The program's makers, ABC Entertainment and Disney, asked the judge to dismiss the case based on evidence that surfaced during trial earlier this year, but a judge has ruled in favor of a retrial.
The new trial is set for September 10, but Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Elizabeth Allen White urged them to end the case privately on Wednesday morning. "I very, very strongly urge you to continue settlement discussions," she said.
Nicollette is seeking $5.7 million in damages and $35,000 in sanctions from ABC Entertainment for her treatment on the series, which saw her character, Edie Britt, killed off in season five by being electrocuted. The jury were deadlocked at eight to four in Nicollette's favour during the first trial, which would appear to put her in a strong position to triumph if the case is retried.

Marc Anthony has filed for divorce from Jennifer Lopez. The former couple - who have four-year-old twins Max and Emme - separated after seven-years of marriage last July. Now Marc, 43, has started proceedings to officially end the union, citing "irreconcilable differences" as the reason behind the split.
People Magazine reports that in papers filed at Los Angeles Supreme Court on Monday, the musician asks for joint legal and physical custody of the children, and for spousal support to be denied if Jennifer, 42, asks for it.
Since parting ways, the pair have remained friends and continue to work together on reality show Q'Viva! The Chosen. However, Jennifer - who has now moved on with 24-year-old dancer Casper Smart - admits the break-up has been a painful process:
"Without going into detail ... it's just really, really sad. And look, we are still going through it, and it's emotional sometimes and difficult. We're still friends - and we're parents. But it's going to take time. It's tough. But for the most part, I feel very proud of the way we're handling it. I really do. We are doing the best we can for the kids."

Seal has filed divorce papers seeking joint physical custody of his four children with Heidi Klum.
The "Kiss From A Rose" hitmaker filed his papers at Los Angeles Superior Court today in response to Heidi's divorce petition last week which sought joint legal custody with visitation rights for Seal to the couple's kids Leni, seven, Henry, six, Johan, five, and two-year-old Lou, but sources close to the pair say this is merely a technicality and there is no custody fight expected. Seal, 49, and Heidi, 38, both cited "irreconcilable differences" for the end of their almost seven-year union.
Following the announcement of the couple's separation, Seal revealed the pair had "grown apart" and he insisted he still loves the Project Runway star.
"You just grow apart after a while. She still, in my opinion, the most wonderful woman in the world. I think our priority was to remain civil and do this thing with dignity. We still very much love each other. To say that neither of us were grieving would be an out and out lie, and I don't mind telling you that. I think the operative here is that we are civil to each other and we both have a tremendous amount of respect and love and we try and do this with as much dignity as we possibly can."
