Spears filed legal papers today in Los Angeles County Superior Court, citing "irreconcilable differences." In her petition, Spears asks for both legal and physical custody of the couple's two children, one-year old Sean Preston and two-month old Jayden James, with Federline getting reasonable visitation rights.
As for money, sources tell TMZ the couple, who married in Sept. 2004, has an iron-clad prenup. Not surprisingly, Spears is waiving her right to spousal support. She's also asking the judge to make each party pay their own attorney's fees.
Spears gives the date of separation as yesterday, the same day she flaunted her incredible revamped physique during a surprise appearance on David Letterman's show. Sources tell TMZ there was no single reason for Britney pulling the plug, rather, it was "a string of events."
Spears has hired powerhouse celebrity divorce lawyer Laura Wasser, who has repped a number of celebs, including Angelina Jolie, Nick Lachey and Kiefer Sutherland. We're told Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe asked Wasser to rep both of them in their split, but Wasser declined for personal reasons.

Whoa...
I saw her last night. She did look good. For her, anyway. As long as she doesn't open her mouth...

Shocking news! I don't think I could stand to be married to either one of these people. What will Kfed do now, I see a book in his future. He will need a ghostwriter as he is unable to distinguish between nouns, verbs and adjectives, are you available?

Wow, I am really shocked.:shock: I thought that they would last forever.
If ever there was a couple that I thought would go the distance, it was them.

I'm not the least bit surprised. But in some ways, these two really deserved each other.

Pathetic, yet amusing all at the same time. Wonder if he'll wake up and smell the coffee, and get a real job now.

Edit: And I hope there was a prenup...

That's what I think. But I am sorry for the kids. They don't have a snowball's chance in hell of having a normal life, not with parents like that.

She looked great on Letterman. http://youtube.com/watch?v=somQERdn0UY
She wasn't slouching, burping, or greasy! She even had her hair nicely flat-ironed. Nice bob and I'm glad she's back blonde.
