'90210' Star Jamie Walters -- How Do You Talk to An Angel ... About Divorce?

Jamie Walters -- who achieved fame in the 90s with the hit song "How Do You Talk to An Angel" now has to figure out how to talk to a divorce lawyer.

Jamie's wife Patricia has filed for divorce after 12 years of marriage. Jamie, who played Donna Martin's abusive BF on "90210," will share custody of their 3 kids if Patricia has her way.

But he's not off the hook that easy ... Patricia wants spousal support and attorneys fees.

Jamie asked to leave "90210" ... because he believed his abusive character might taint his music career.
