Celebrity Divorce

DMX is trying his hand at the whole conscious uncoupling thing by keeping his divorce from his soon-to-be-wife Tashera civil, down to child support checks.

X and Tashera hugged it out Thursday outside a New York courthouse ... not the norm for a couple on the outs after meeting with lawyers and a judge, but we're told it's because they've raised the white flag on the money situation.

A lot of it has to do with X being in and out of jail the past year. He also blamed his old manager for messing up previous child support payments.

Truth is ... X's income has changed drastically for the worse and Tashera's agreed to wait until his lawyers figure out his current revenue before striking a divorce settlement.

Tashera's been getting $5k a month up until now ... so it could be a gamble.

Yolanda Foster has pulled the trigger, filing divorce docs to end her marriage to music producer David Foster.

Yolanda cites the usual -- irreconcilable differences. She wants spousal support. There are no child support or custody issues ... they had no kids together.

As we reported, Yolanda and David had a prenup. He's already set her up in a $5 million swanky West L.A. condo.

The couple married in November, 2011. She says they separated 2 months ago.

It was Yolanda's second marriage and David's fourth.

"Modern Family" creator Steve Levitan 's wife has filed for divorce ... his rep says Steve's wife filed "by mistake" and it's being dismissed -- but it looks like the divorce is full steam ahead.

There's a huge amount of money on the line ... in addition to "Modern Family," Steve created "Just Shoot Me!" and also wrote for "Fraiser," "Wings," and "The Larry Sanders Show."

Krista Levitan cites irreconcilable differences in her legal docs, asking to end her 23 year marriage.

The divorce petition, filed by celeb divorce lawyer Stephen Kolodny, says the couple separated on New Year's Eve.

Steve's rep told us, "The filing was made in error and is being withdrawn." But we found out Krista just filed proof with the court that she has officially served Steve.

It appears there is no prenup ... their estimated worth is reportedly around $50 mil.

"Community" creator Dan Harmon ... is divorcing his wife after barely a year of marriage ... the good news ... it's 5 times longer than Kim Kardashian's second.

Dan filed the docs two days shy of Christmas ... asking a judge to untie the knot with Erin McGathy.

The couple has been pretty open about the split ... it seems there are no hard feelings. Erin announced the news on Twitter, asking people to respect their privacy but adding, "we discuss it openly on our respective podcasts."

They have no kids and even though the marriage was a blink, she's asking for spousal support.

No word if there was a prenup. Seems like they won't have a lot of trouble splitting their assets with or without one ...

Keegan-Michael Key -- one half of comedy duo "Key & Peele" -- is cutting ties with his wife of 17 years, Cynthia Blaise.

Key filed his divorce docs on December 31 ... a popular move in Hollywood. He and Cynthia got married in Dec. of 1998.

According to the docs, they separated back in November 2015. They have no kids, and he's asking the court to figure out spousal support down the line.

Cynthia works behind the scenes in Hollywood -- she's been a dialect coach on big movies like, "Bad Teacher," "8 Mile" and "Miami Vice."

We're guessing Keegan did NOT quote one of his best skits when he broke the break-up news to her.

Jill Whelan, who hit it big played Capt. Stubing's daughter on "Love Boat," has fallen on hard times ... she's getting divorced and has no source of income to support herself.

Whelan, who also hilariously played the little girl with the IV tube in "Airplane!" is in the middle of a divorce and filed legal docs showing she's basically broke -- $5k in assets.

Jill married Michael Chaykowsky and moved to New Jersey in 2004. She says he pulls in $126k a year and lives in the lap of luxury in a 10 bedroom mansion on 14 acres.

For her part, Jill just started a podcast but is not making any money. The 49-year-old actress acknowledges the opportunities for an actress her age are few and far between.

She's asking for spousal support for herself and child support for their 10-year-old son.

Sherri Shepherd is going all the way to the Supreme Court ... of Pennsylvania to get off the financial hook for the kid she and estranged husband Lamar Sally had last year through a surrogate.

According to legal docs obtained by TMZ, Shepherd's asking the highest court in the state to relieve her from paying up to $4,600 a month to Sally until their son turns 18. Her reason? She says the first judge overstepped his boundaries in using a surrogacy contract to make her the mom ... even though she's not biologically related to the child.

Lamar tells TMZ ... it's ridiculous Sherri spent nearly $100k to bring their kid into the world, yet wants nothing to do with him. He says it's unfortunate one day the baby will be able to read the lengths Sherri went to in order to be out of his life.

James Caan's wife is asking for more money in the child support department because she says her 75-year-old estranged husband is still rolling in the dough.

As we reported, James has put his foot down, claiming his wife has been draining his assets to the point he has to take unworthy roles just to keep the financial boat afloat.

According to legal docs obtained by TMZ, he made more than a million bucks last year alone just from residuals. For example, she says he made more than $140k just from "Elf," which plays 'round the clock during Christmas.

Linda also wants some serious 'Godfather' money, claiming among other things she's entitled to half the residuals he gets from the video games.

We obtained other docs which show the couple has a lot in the way of pricey assets. He's asking the judge to force her to ante up a Chagall painting, a Picasso, a Dali, a gold record of "Funny Lady" and a crossword puzzle from President Clinton.

As we previously reported, Caan tells TMZ he harbors no ill will, saying, "Linda is a beautiful woman who gave me 2 beautiful sons which helped enrich my life tremendously, and I'll always be indebted to her for that."

Hinder frontman Austin Winkler is done putting lips on his angel ... he's divorcing his wife Jami after 7 and a half years of marriage.

Winkler got his divorce docs in just under the wire -- he filed in L.A. Superior Court on Dec. 30, 2015. Did it by himself, too ... no lawyer.

In the papers, he says there's NO community property to divvy up ... which is a little weird since they tied the knot in 2008, before Hinder came up big. It could be they have a prenup, but Austin doesn't mention it in the docs.

Also interesting ... he says the court doesn't need to award either party spousal support -- and they've been separated since July 2014.

Guy Ritchie and 15-year-old Rocco have formed a united front, and plan to wage a custody war against Madonna ... sources connected with Guy tell TMZ.

Our sources say Rocco has not softened his position ... he now wants to live with his dad. We're told Rocco feels his mom is "too controlling" and doesn't pay him any real attention. It's now been a month since he left Madonna's tour to live with his dad, and he feels more strongly than ever he wants to stay put.

We're told Rocco, like his dad, feels home life in London is more stable and loving. It's no longer just that Rocco doesn't like touring with his mom ... he says he just doesn't want to live with her anymore.

We're told Guy has hired a lawyer to mount a legal fight.

As we reported, our Madonna sources say Guy has gotten in Rocco's ear and is talking trash about her. The two have had a rocky co-parenting experience, often fighting.

A New York judge has ordered Rocco back in the U.S. for a hearing in February.

Olivia d'Abo says her husband derailed her acting career, and now he has to pay.

The 'Wonder Years' star filed docs in her ongoing divorce from Patrick Leonard, saying he pressured and threatened her to curtail her career throughout their marriage.

She says he wanted her to nurture her music career and abandon acting. She says he pressured her into passing on several big roles.

She claims Patrick threatened to divorce her if she took a part in the Broadway revival of "The Odd Couple" with Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane, because he didn't want her to move to NYC. She took the role anyway.

Olivia claims her acting career never bounced back from her 'Wonder Years' peak and the stress of dealing with his repeated divorce threats took a toll on her health.

Terrell Owens' bizarre three day marriage to Rachel Snider is over, and he couldn't be happier.

Jeremy Renner's divorce is final, and according to court docs, he'll be paying a fortune in child support.

According to legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Renner will pay ex-wife Sonni Pacheco $13k a month in child support for 2-year-old Ava. But that's not all. If Jeremy pulls in more than $2.3 mil a year, he has to pay 5% of the excess as additional child support.

They will share custody.

Sonni gets a big zero in the spousal support department.

Derek Fisher's divorce has miraculously turned from super bitter to civilized ... to the point where both he and estranged wife Candace are hammering out a settlement ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Maybe it's a mistake, or maybe it's intentional ... but Gwen Stefani has a new Twitter follower -- Miranda Lambert.

Maybe old feelings die hard, but Gwen's been tweeting a lot about Blake Shelton and places they go, and it seems Miranda's interested.

The twitter web is tangled for sure ... Gwen still follows Gavin Rossdale, Gavin follows Gwen, Miranda still follows Blake, and Blake follows Miranda.

Social media divorce is way harder than regular.

Call of Duty creator Vincent Zampella apparently has his own conflicts ... his wife just filed for divorce.

Brigitte Zampella cites irreconcilable differences as the reason she's ending their 18 year marriage, and the stakes are high. The wildly successful video game, launched in 2003, has grossed $11 BILLION in retail sales.

Vincent sued Activision in 2010 over ownership rights to the game and the case settled 2 years later. We're told Activision owns the game but Vincent got a whopping payout.

There's no evidence of a prenup -- nothing in the divorce docs -- which means under California law assets acquired during the marriage are split 50/50.

The couple has 3 minor children, and Brigitte wants primary physical custody.

Brigitte is asking for spousal support.

Our sources say the divorce is friendly ... not a real-life war game.
