TMZ broke the story .. the couple's divorce became final Monday. According to the docs, Jesse and Sandra trusted each other when it came to coming up with a value of the assets they each held and the debts they each owed.

They entered into a confidential property settlement agreement -- in Texas it's called a Partition Agreement. And they each waived alimony.
The docs note that there are no minor children. As we first reported, Sandra wanted to get the divorce over quickly -- 2 months from the time she filed -- so she can complete the single-parent adoption of Louis.

Heidi and Spencer Divorce -- The Real Deal
Knock us over with a feather. TMZ has learned ... Heidi Montag is so serious about ending her marriage to Spencer Pratt, she's already lawyered up and she has a game plan.
We've learned Heidi has picked Jodeane Farrell to handle her divorce and this lawyer isn't playing games ... she's already taking steps to get the quickest divorce possible in California.
Farrell -- who has practiced as a family law specialist for 24 years and currently handles divorce mediations -- will be setting up a meeting with Heidi and Spencer in approximately two weeks. We're told both Heidi and Spencer want the divorce mediated -- meaning the two will try and hash out a property settlement privately, wait the six months required by California law, and end their marriage.
Heidi wants Farrell to be the mediator, provided Spencer is down with it. Farrell has close family ties with the Montag family, but she tells TMZ she doesn't think there will be a problem in mediating the deal.
Farrell plans to meet with Heidi and Spencer together, and if he's on board she'll schedule a meeting with their accountant to go over assets and liabilities.
And Farrell says ... so far things are "very amicable" between Heidi and Spencer.

Jesse James' Ex Her Husband's Flip Flop
TMZ has obtained emails that played a big part in the judge's decision not to ban Jesse James' ex from visiting their child -- but the emails are a little weird.
Jeremy Aikman, who's currently married to Janine Lindemulder, wrote to the court via email, "I am sorry for saying the hurtful lies about Janine. I acted immature and very out of line."
As for what those "hurtful lies" are -- among other things, Jeremy claimed she was a major pill popper who "loves feeling the needle." The court read a letter from Jeremy that Jesse James submitted, stating that on one occasion, "She left the house so high on pills that she ran her truck in to the house."
Jesse used the letter in an attempt to block visitation, but the judge looked at subsequent emails and decided to discount everything Jeremy said. The judge read an email from Jeremy to Janine, which said he "acted very immature and told Jesse James thing about you that were not true."
One insider claims Jeremy had a change of heart because he was afraid Janine might harm herself if she lost visitation, and he was feeling guilty.

Jesse James: My Ex Isn't To Be Trusted With Sunny
Sources tell TMZ ... Jesse James believes the mother of his youngest daughter is unstable and he's refusing to allow the girl to spend time alone with her mom, in spite of a court order to the contrary.

Battle in High Gear Over Dennis Hopper Estate
A dogfight is shaping up over Dennis Hopper's estate ... and an unintended victim could be his 7-year-old daughter Galen.
We've learned lawyers for Victoria Hopper and Dennis' estate met last Friday to try and hash out an agreement -- to no avail. We're told the people in control of the estate -- the trustees -- want to kick Victoria and Galen off of Dennis' property immediately, but Victoria refuses to go.
As for dividing up the spoils of the estate, we've learned Dennis Hopper drafted an amendment to his estate plan back in March, in which he effectively tried to cut down Galen's share from 40% to 25%. Under California law, however, the amendment may not be valid, because changes to an estate plan are severely restricted when a divorce is pending.
And we've learned the lawyers have already drawn the battle lines over Victoria's cut in the estate -- she believes she's entitled to 25% ... the estate believes she should get zippo.

Charlie Sheen/Brooke Mueller Divorce Documents

According to the docs, signed by both Charlie and Brooke, they will get joint legal custody of their two kids. Brooke gets primary physical custody and Charlie becomes a weekend dad, getting the kids on the first, third and fifth weekends of the month from Saturday at 10 AM until Monday at 10 AM.
Brooke gets $55,000 a month in child support, plus various other expenses, but, according to the docs, "under no circumstances shall the child support paid by Charlie for Bob and Max be less than the child support paid by Charlie to Denise Richards for Sam and Lola."
TMZ broke the story ... Denise gets $50,000 a month in child support ... although the new document suggests Denise may be getting $55k a month.
Brooke waives spousal support but still cashes in. In addition to getting a 50% cut on the baby photos the couple sold to Getty Images, Brooke gets several bank accounts and a lump sum parting gift of $757,689.70.
Charlie gets the house but has to buy Brooke out to the tune of around $1 million.
Charlie also gets to keep his $5.6 mil watch collection.
At the end of the document, Brooke agrees "not to disclose to any media sources personal information relating to Charlie's sexual affairs or alleged drug usage." For his part, Charlie agrees not to talk about Brooke's alleged drug use.
And they're not allowed to talk crap about each other in front of the kids.
TMZ also obtained divorce documents that were signed by Charlie but not filed with the court ... at least not yet. The documents cite "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for divorce.
We're told no decision has been made on whether to pull the trigger on the divorce.

Jesse James: My Ex Was Stoned and Drove Our Kid
Jesse James just filed blistering legal papers against his ex-wife, Janine Lindemulder, claiming she was once drugged out of her mind with their young daughter in the car.
Jesse is fighting Janine's attempt to wrestle custody and visitation from Jesse. Currently he has full custody of 6-year-old Sunny.
On Friday, Jesse filed several declarations with the court ... obtained by TMZ ... one of which was written by Jesse's sister, Julie James England. Julie claims two years ago -- when Sunny was 4 -- she got a call from Janine, "slurring her words, telling me she's letting my niece, Sunny drive." Julie says Janine told her she had taken "some numbing drugs her neighbors gave her from Mexico and she drank tequila" and that she and Sunny were "going to get munchies."
Julie claims she sent a friend to Janine's house, who found Janine "passed out in her car in the garage with Sunny."
And there's a lot more. Sgt. Mark T. England, Jesse's brother-in-law and a medic in the Army, wrote his own declaration, claiming Janine once asked if he could score her narcotics, including Soma, Vicodin, Lunesta and Ambien.
England says he's seen Janine perform at a strip club in the past and do lines of cocaine before getting on stage.
Jesse claims he can provide Sunny with a stable environment -- and even though Janine says she's cleaned up her act, Jesse believes she poses a high risk to their daughter.
A custody hearing is set for June 17.

Heidi Montag Files for Legal Separation
TMZ has learned Heidi Montag just showed up at the Santa Monica Courthouse and officially filed for legal separation from Spencer Pratt. She lists irreconcilable differences as the reason for separation.
Heidi did not file divorce papers. The legal significance of legal separation is that her earnings will become her separate property from the date of separation. Heidi lists the date of separation as today, June 8.
Interesting ... under the section, "community assets and debts," Heidi wrote, "No such assets or debts." It's unclear if Heidi and Spencer have a prenup which keeps their assets separate, or if they're broke.
Heidi tried filing in Malibu -- of course -- but the Malibu courts don't do divorces.
Heidi filed the legal docs in her own handwriting. There's no evidence she has a lawyer.
