Actor Martin Lawrence files for divorce

American writer, producer and comedian Martin Lawrence has filed a divorce with his wife Shamicka due to ‘irreconcilable differences.’
The ‘Big Momma’s House‘ producer submitted the documents in Los Angeles County Superior court in April 25, 2012, a day after they announced their separation.

Martin and his wife got married on July 10, 2010 in their Beverly Hills home, but were together for 15 years prior to the marriage.
Martin and Shamicka have two children; 11 year old Iyanna, and 9-year-old Amara Trinity.
According to TMZ.com, Martin wants joint physical and legal custody of the kids.
According to Lawrence’s representative, ‘Martin and Shamicka Lawrence have decided to divorce. The couple has made the joint decision to part ways‘.
They released a joint statement, saying: ‘Out of love and respect for one another, we will continue to remain friends and raise our two beautiful daughters together.’
The screen star recently completed a nationwide sold-out comedy tour and a comedy pilot for the CBS Network.
