Reese's Estranged Hubby Wants ...

Posted May 18th 2007 12:50PM by TMZ Staff

Ryan Phillippe has fired his shot off the bow in his divorce with Reese Witherspoon.

TMZ has obtained court documents, filed this week in Los Angeles County Superior Court. Phillippe wants to make a clean break from the marriage. He is not asking for spousal or child support. All he wants is joint custody of the two kids.

Witherspoon filed divorce papers last November, citing irreconcilable difference. She asked for joint custody, and also asked the judge to block any attempt on Phillippe's part to get spousal support. Reese also wanted "exclusive use of the family residence."

TMZ first reported that the former couple did not sign a pre-nup, which means their assets acquired during the marriage will be divided even-steven.

47. I think the whole thing is sad. They are the one couple I thought would make it. They were good together. How could he ever want anyone other than her. She seems perfect. I dont think he deserves any of her money. Its not her fault we would rather see her act. He needs to get a job.

48. I agree with comment number 5, compare to Kim Basinger and Alec Baldwin, Reese and Ryan have been very quiet about their divorce. As much as Ryan will try to get his two kids, Ava and Deacon, Reese will most likely get custody unless those two can work something out with each other and their lawyers!

52. I think that if the roles were reversed she would get half so why not him!
He treated her good and took care of the kids which alot of men don't do
so he should be able to live comfortable. And he should not have to ask for spousal support she should offer it.

56. Lana,

Are you unable to read or just think? He gets half of everything they made while married. So what is your point? She should have to continue paying him after the split. Get real.
