Sean Penn files for divorce
Oscar winning actor Sean Penn has filed for legal separation from Robin Wright Penn, his wife of 13-years after failing to work out differences.
The actor and Robin, who played Jenny in Forrest Gump, had earlier started divorce proceedings in Marin County Superior Court in December 2007 after 11 years of marriage but got back together in April last year.
Penn, who won the Best Actor Oscar this year for his performance in Milk, looks all set to divorce Robin this time.
According to court papers filed last week in Marin County, near San Francisco, the 48-year-old actor seeks a legal separation from Robin on grounds of irreconcilable differences.
He has also sought joint physical and legal custody of their children, 18-year-old daughter Dylan and 15-year-old son Hopper, reports said.
Penn has also requested the court not to award any spousal support to Wright Penn, 43. The papers show the couple separated on April 23.
The actor, who stepped out with Robin at the Oscar award ceremony in February this year, raised eyebrows by failing to mention her name during his acceptance speech after winning the trophy for Best Actor.
Penn started dating Robin in early 90s, following his divorce from popstar Madonna in 1989.
He married Robin in 1996.
