TMZ has learned Maria Shriver has pulled the trigger on her marriage ... she just filed for divorce from Arnold Schwarzenegger ... and we've learned, there is NO PRENUP.
In the divorce petition, obtained by TMZ, Shriver cites "irreconcilable differences" as her reason for ending the 25-year marriage.
Shriver is asking for spousal support and wants the judge to deny Arnold the right to ask for support for himself-- though it's highly unlikely he would.
Shriver is asking for joint custody of their minor children, who she names in the document as 17-year-old "Patrick Arnold Shriver Schwarzenegger" and 13-year-old "Christopher Sargent Shriver Schwarzenegger."
And, in the petition, filed by disso-queen Laura Wasser, Shriver is asking Arnold to pay the attorneys' fees of both parties.
As for the date Arnold and Maria separated ... it isn't specified in the divorce papers.
According to the docs, the property accumulated during the marriage will be divided at a later date. And, sources tell TMZ, there is no prenup, so all of Arnold and Maria's earnings over the past quarter century will be divided 50/50.

Hasta la vista baby!
Arnold got where he was politically cause of her!
They deserve each other.
Who would pay to see an old has-been like him?
I hate those movies where they pair up old leches with women thirty years younger.
Call me cynical, but I feel no sympathy for her. She stayed with him just long enough for him to completely finish off the Republican brand in California.
I’ve disliked the guy for a very long time. I’ve always considered him a clown. I’ve been proven correct but most of us here already knew that. I voted against the recall in 2003 because I thought it was a bad precedent to set. I voted for Tom McClintock. If McClintock had been elected instead of Arnold Schwarzenegger, California would have been much better off. McClintock would have started serious work on the budget problems right away rather than kicking the can down the road. I did vote for Schwarzenegger in 2006 because the alternative was even worse in Democrat Phil Angelides. So I held my nose and voted for Arnold. It was painful but I did it. I’m glad he’s gone form the scene but the damage he’s left is significant. Jerry Brown in NOT the guy to clean up this mess. We are so screwed.
