The American actress Reese Witherspoon (47 years old), known for her roles in great fiction series such as Big Little Lies or Little Fires Everywhere, has officially launched the legal proceedings to divorce her husband, agent Jim Toth, with whom he married in 2011 and with whom he has a 10-year-old son.

The former couple had already announced their separation a few weeks ago on the actress’s official Instagram account, leaving millions of fans in shock: “We have some personal news to share… With great care and consideration we have taken the difficult decision to divorce.

Both agreed that they were going to carry out the process in the most discreet way possible and focusing on their priority: the well-being of the child they have in common. ”We have enjoyed many wonderful years together and now we move forward with deep love, kindness and mutual respect for all that we have created together. Our highest priority is our son and our entire family as we navigate this next chapter,” they shared.

Sources close to People magazine have confirmed that it is a very friendly decision and that the ex-partner can boast of sharing a beautiful and close relationship: “They are so committed to co-parenting and with their entire family that they make this the as simple as possible.”

Although they were already separated, the Oscar winner began the legal proceedings to divorce you last Saturday when she presented the documents required for such a procedure before the Circuit Court of Davidson County, Tennessee. According to the official texts to which People magazine has had access, Witherspoon listed “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for her divorce.

These documents also list the filing date as the date of their separation and clarify that the actress and her former partner have a prenuptial agreement in place, which would facilitate the process considerably. Another of the most important points of the writings is that both have reached an agreement to share custody of their 10-year-old son, a young boy named Tennessee James.

The already ex-partner has made this difficult decision a few days before celebrating their 12th anniversary, thus putting an end to a beautiful relationship that has lasted more than a decade. The announcement, which was made through the actress’s social networks, left her fans very surprised, since the couple had not spoken of any kind of problem before and their bond seemed very strong.

In the official documents that the artist delivered to the American Court, the actress assured that they had “irreconcilable differences”, but sources close to People magazine have gone further and have assured that while Witherspoon is a more “stubborn and focused”, the CAA talent agent is more “relaxed” in their relationship and they have clarified that the situation was becoming increasingly difficult due to Reese Witherspoon’s busy schedule.
