Britney and K-Fed Getting A Divorce

TMZ obtained the legal papers, filed today in Los Angeles County Superior Court, citing "irreconcilable differences." In her petition, Spears asks for both legal and physical custody of the couple's two children, one-year old Sean Preston and two-month old Jayden James, with Federline getting reasonable visitation rights.

As for money, sources tell TMZ the couple, who married in Oct. 2004, has an iron-clad prenup. Not surprisingly, Spears is waiving her right to spousal support. She's also asking the judge to make each party pay their own attorney's fees.





Spears gives the date of separation as yesterday, the same day she flaunted her incredible revamped physique during a surprise appearance on David Letterman's show. Sources tell TMZ there was no single reason for Britney pulling the plug, rather, it was "a string of events."

Spears has hired powerhouse celebrity divorce lawyer Laura Wasser, who has repped a number of celebs, including Angelina Jolie, Nick Lachey and Kiefer Sutherland. We're told Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe asked Wasser to rep both of them in their split, but Wasser declined for personal reasons.





Significantly, Britney lists the date of her marriage as October 6, 2004. There was an uproar around the time of the wedding because the highly publicized "secret" ceremony was held on Sept. 18th, leading many to question the validity of the ceremony. Now the divorce documents indicate that the lavish ceremony was not the official wedding.

Well, well, well. I noticed in this article that the reporter stated that Britney and Kevin had ,indeed, signed a prenuptial agreement. Wait a second, I distinctly remember Miz Spears stating to the press and media that she refused to sign a prenupt because it would jinx her marriage!

I'll wait and see on this report. Really, it wouldn't matter to me about a minor talent singer and wannabe rapper/dancer getting a divorce, but it appears so many Hollywood couples are parting company lately. Remember Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey? How about Liza and David? Or Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillipe Or Brad Pitt and Jennifer Anniston

Oh well, it must be so tough being that rich and famous. Get your divorce and move on, just please spare the public your drama and dirty laundry. We really don't care if you have "irreconcilable differences".
