Sean Penn files for divorce from wife Robin Wright Penn

Sean Penn has filed for divorce from wife Robin Wright Penn.
The 'Milk' actor asked for "legal separation with minor children" from his
spouse of 13 years when he filed the papers at a Los Angeles court.
It is not the first time the couple - who have two children together, Dylan,
18, and 15-year-old Hopper Jack - have tried to legally end their stormy
marriage.
Penn first filed for divorce in December 2007, but his petition was
dismissed. Three days later Wright Penn filed her own paperwork.
However, in April 2008, they requested to have their divorce petition
dismissed as they wanted to give their relationship another try.
They attended the Academy Awards together in February, where Penn won his
second Best Actor Oscar for his role as openly gay politician Harvey Milk in
'Milk'.
However, when accepting his award, Penn failed to thank his wife.
He later insisted it was not a deliberate slight against Robyn, he merely
wanted to acknowledge people involved with the acclaimed film.
He said: "I wanted to keep things focused on the professional team around
this movie. Because with Robin comes my mother and my son and my daughter,
and half of them will punish me if I mention them."
