In October 2010, David Arquette and Courteney Cox announced their separation to the media. The couple, who married in 1999, has remained close throughout their two-year separation, and continue to raise their daughter together.

On Friday, David Arquette filed his divorce petition just minutes before Courteney Cox did the same. Arquette’s papers claim that irreconcilable differences were the reason for their divorce request. He has not sought the help of a divorce attorney, nor has he sought spousal support from Cox.

Cox, who is worth a considerable amount more than Arquette, has asked for joint custody, both physical and legal, of their 8-year-old daughter, Coco. The alleged lack of a prenuptial agreement may cause the couple to split their earned income during their marriage straight down the middle.
