Exclusive

3:47 AM PT:  
Hahn is asking for custody of their 1-year-old as well as child support and spousal support. 

Hahn states in his divorce filing he wants the divorce on grounds of "cruel and inhuman treatment  ... such that the conduct of the defendant [Rachel] so endangers the physical or mental well being of the plaintiff as renders it unsafe or improper for the plaintiff to cohabit with the defendant."

Although Hahn is asking for an "equitable distribution of marital assets," it's pretty certain Rachel's settlement with Tiger Woods will remain hers.

Rachel Uchitel
is getting divorced after a stormy relationship that blew up last month when she called 911 on her husband ... TMZ has learned.

Sources connected with the couple tell TMZ ... Rachel's husband, Matt Hahn, filed for divorce Monday, citing "cruel and inhumane treatment." 

Our sources say ... there were many explosive, verbal arguments.  We're also told Matt alleges Rachel slapped him after he repeatedly called her names.  FYI, Matt is a former Penn State football player.

As for the 911 call ... we're told Rachel called NYC cops on May 16 after a particularly nasty verbal argument, asking for help in getting Matt out of the house.  We're told Rachel did not follow up and did not pursue charges against Matt.

Rachel and Matt were married a year-and-a-half ago. They have a 1-year-old daughter.

Rachel's rep, Howard Bragman, tells TMZ, "It is Ms. Uchitel's goal to resolve this action amicably, quickly and quietly and not in the media."

Jane Lynch
My Gay Marriage Is Over

Exclusive Details
0610_jane_lynch_laura_embry_gettyJane Lynch is pulling the plug on her marriage to wife Dr. Lara Embry ... just 3 years after tying the knot in Massachusetts, where gay marriage is legal.

Lynch just released a statement to People.com saying, "Lara and I have decided to end our marriage. This has been a difficult decision for us as we care very deeply about one another."

The 52-year-old "Glee" star met 44-year-old Embry back in 2009 at a fundraiser in San Francisco ... and they married in 2010.

Lynch and Embry are California residents and a California court will almost certainly dissolve the marriage, even though gay marriages are not legal in California.  The State recognizes marriages from places where gay marriage is legal.

Now ... California is a community property state, which means unless there's a prenup, Lynch and Embry would split all assets acquired during the marriage 50/50.  Although Embry's no slouch, Lynch has made a bundle on "Glee" and other projects.

Sources connected with the former couple tell TMZ ... they don't have a prenup.

Todd Bridges
I Make LESS Than
$25k Per Year

Exclusive
0607_todd_bridges_Article_tmzTodd Bridges is not a wealthy man ... this according to Todd Bridges.

The former "Diff'rent Strokes" actor just filed new docs in his divorce from longtime wife Dori Bridges, stating that he only makes a grand total of $22,500 per year from his career as an actor ... and that's BEFORE TAXES.

It's a bit of a problem for Bridges ... who, in the docs, claims he spends roughly $4,306 per month ... including a $1,520 monthly mortgage payment.

Todd says Dori was making $1,750 per month ... but combined with Todd's income, it still wasn't enough to cover their average monthly spending

It appears the beef is over how much child support Todd will have to ante up.

Todd announced his split from Dori last year -- but insists the two remain good friends. They have 1 kid together.

Lakers Star Steve Nash
Judge Rules GF
Can Fly with Kids

Exclusive
0607_steve_nash_wife_article_getty_tmz
L.A. Lakers star Steve Nash just won a victory in his custody war with his ex, but it's small potatoes compared to what's ultimately at stake.

A judge in the case just ruled ... Steve's live-in girlfriend, Brittany Richardson, is allowed to accompany the 3 kids without Steve from L.A. to Arizona and back.  Steve's ex, Alejandra Nash, had objected to Brittany taking charge of the kids on grounds she wasn't a family member.

The judge ruled ... Brittany was as much a family member as the nanny, who is allowed to care for the children.

There's a bigger issue on the line.  Both Steve and Alejandra are waiting for the judge to rule on whether she can move from Phoenix to L.A.  Steve has objected ... he says because L.A. is a lousy place to raise kids.  Alejandra scoffs at Steve's objection, saying it's a smoke screen and the real reason he doesn't want her to move is because a California judge would nail him with child support.

The judge is expected to rule any day.

Russian Prez Vladimir Putin
The Most Civilized Divorce
EVER

0607_vladimir_putin_wife_01
Vladimir Putin could teach Beverly Hills celebs like Kelsey Grammer a thing or 2 about divorce ... like announcing the end of your marriage after a lovely evening with your estranged wife at the ballet!

It's pretty incredible.  Putin and his wife, Lyudmila Putina, walked out of a performance of Esmeralda at the Great Kremlin Palace when a reporter gingerly began asking the Prez questions about rumors -- rumors that the 2 were living apart.  Putin responded directly ... almost matter-of-factly, "This is so."

The reporter wasn't satisfied, knowing there must be more.  So he threw a Hail Mary:  "I am afraid to say this word 'divorce.'"  Lyudmila responded, "Yes, this is a civilized divorce."

No s**t.

Apparently the divorce isn't final yet.  When it happens, it will end a 30-year marriage.

As for why ... Lyudmila has bitched about the fact that her hubby is all work and no play.  But it seems like he plays, because there have been persistent rumors he's banging a gymnast half his age.

They don't call him Putin for nothin'.

Michael Douglas' Ex-Wife
My Lady Junk
Was Clean as a Whistle

Exclusive
0603_diandra_michael_douglas_gettyMichael Douglas' ex-wife wants to make something perfectly clear -- eating out was safe when he was married to her.

Douglas told a British paper over the weekend ... his 2010 throat cancer was "caused by HPV [human papillomavirus], which actually comes about from cunnilingus."

Diandra Douglas -- whose epic divorce from Michael in 2000 was one of the richest marital settlements in history -- tells TMZ she does NOT have HPV ... period.

Guess the ball is in your court now, CZJ.

Joe Simpson
I Still Love Nick Lachey
... Even If He Trashed Me

Exclusive
060313_joe_simpson_launch_v2
Joe Simpson's quite a forgiving guy ... 'cause Jessica's dad tells TMZ he would still have a beer with Nick Lachey ... even after his daughter's ex-hubby TRASHED him on national television.

It was just last month that Nick went on "Watch What Happens Live" and told Andy Cohen ... the best part of divorcing Jessica was not having to play grab ass under the table w/ Joe at family events.

But Joe -- who hit up Greystone Manor with 3 pretty hot chicks this weekend -- told us he still "loves" Nick after the diss ... and praised him for being a good husband to his daughter.

Sidenote -- at one point in the video, Joe's hot friend in the pink dress addresses the gay rumors ... even though nobody really asked her. So, check that out.

Nic Cage's Son
DIVORCE FINAL
She Keeps Wedding Ring

Exclusive

Nicolas Cage
's son Weston and his wife Nikki Williams are officially divorced, TMZ has learned -- but the crazy part ... she gets to keep her wedding ring, despite promising to PAWN IT OFF.

As we reported, 22-year-old Weston filed for divorce back in 2011 -- not really shocking, considering they were both arrested for domestic violence against each other after they tied the knot earlier that year ... following a two-week engagement.

The divorce is now final -- but according to the order, obtained by TMZ, 24-year-old Nikki gets to keep her wedding ring ... along with the rights to her entire song catalog, including a track called "Pawn My Wedding Ring."

The song was written last year, after Weston filed for divorce, and it contains the lyrics -- "It started perfect, you were a different person / But you changed on me after the honeymoon was done."

It continues ... "And because it's not worth anything / I'm about to pawn my wedding ring / Get rid of everything that was right or wrong." See? It's right there in black and white.

Meanwhile, Weston gets to keep his musical equipment, bank account, and songs ... including fluffy uplifting hits like "Souless Eyes," "Vampire Sentiment," and "Heathen Sanctuary."

Young love.

Toni Braxton's Sister
I'm Finally Divorcing
My Cheating Husband

Exclusive
0601-trina-braxton-getty
"Braxton Family Values" star Trina Braxton can't un-break her marriage ... the reality star finally pulled the trigger on her divorce from philandering husband Grabriel Adrian-Solis, TMZ has learned.

Toni Braxton's sister filed divorce docs in Georgia court claiming her marriage was irretrievably broken. Trina and Gabriel tied the knot in August 2003, separated in March 2013, and are currently living in separate pads.

It's not exactly a shock -- the duo suffered from a slew of marital problems, including infidelity. Gabriel has admitted to cheating on Trina with numerous women in the past and Trina admitted to cheating on Gabriel -- all of which played out on their reality TV show. 

As for the nuts and bolts of it all ... Trina says she'll try to work out a financial agreement with her estranged husband to divvy up their assets (and debts) as calmly as possible. She's asking for a total divorce, claiming there's no hope for reconciliation.

In times like these, at least she's got Toni ...
