In the court papers filed Wednesday in Los Angeles Superior Court, Witherspoon, 30, also requests that the court not grant spousal support for Phillippe.

Yesterday, Phillippe issued an exclusive statement to PEOPLE , saying, “I’m not a perfect person, but I’m not guilty of a lot of the things I have been accused of. My priority is and always has been the health and safety of my family."

It was alleged last week that the cause for the break-up Ryan's affair with
Australian actress Abbie Cornish, his co-star in independent film 'Stop
Loss'.

Reese Witherspoon and Jake, one of the movie industry's most eligible bachelors, are set to get together at the end of this month to film the CIA thriller Rendition.

Reese's friends predict the two may simply be unable to resist each other. Jake has a determined track record of seducing his female leads, and career-conscious Reese knows a hot new leading man is just what she needs.
"They're both young, talented and magical. I'm sure sparks will fly," says Clifford Streit, the producer of Reese's hit film American Psycho.

Reese's friends say Jake is perfect for the actress — because he's the opposite of Ryan.
"Jake is just the type of guy Reese needs round right now. It's going to be a huge boost for her ego, spending time with someone who shares so many of her values," says an insider.

Unlike the party-hard Ryan, Jake is a private man who shies away from the spectacle of Hollywood. And, like Reese, he loves to spend time at home, walking his dogs and staying in shape.
"Jake is everything Ryan isn't — he's grounded, he's a family man, he loathes the party scene and, most important, he's a one-woman guy," says an insider. Adds the source, "Jake is ripe for the picking. He hasn't had a serious relationship since splitting with Kirsten Dunst two years ago. He has a history of romancing his beautiful co-stars. When he makes eyes at Reese, you can bet there'll be fireworks."

Picking up the pieces after the end of her seven-year marriage, Reese is determined to handle her divorce with dignity – with or without a new man on her arm.
"She's moving full-speed ahead. She cares more about being embarrassed than about anything else, really," says a pal.
"She's determined to handle the split with poise. She doesn't want a long and protracted divorce battle, but if Ryan fires the first shot, she's ready to fire back. Reese is not going to let Ryan walk all over her anymore."
