Britney Spears Files for Divorce
TMZ.com ^ | 11/7/06

Posted on 11/07/2006 1:01:32 PM PST by truthandlife

Spears filed legal papers 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 Sept. 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.

Oh my, Drudge just this morning had news about K-Fed begging to play his show to an empty house after it was almost cancelled, and I thought "I bet Brit divorces him now."

She needs to lay low and try to lead a more simple life.

Yes, she needs to consider living in a cabin in the Alaska wilderness. I happen to have a spare room.

Why do I find this hard to believe? I thought her and "K-Tel" would last 4-ever.

So I guess the lawsuit is to decide who retains custody of the half-brain they share as community property?
