Maria Shriver Files for Divorce from Arnold
In the divorce petition, obtained by TMZ, Shriver cites “irreconcilable differences” as her reason for ending the 25-year marriage.
Shriver is asking for spousal support and wants the judge to deny Arnold the right to ask for support for himself– though it’s highly unlikely he would.
Shriver is asking for joint custody of their minor children, who she names in the document as 17-year-old “Patrick Arnold Shriver Schwarzenegger” and 13-year-old “Christopher Sargent Shriver Schwarzenegger.”
And, in the petition, filed by disso-queen Laura Wasser, Shriver is asking Arnold to pay the attorneys’ fees of both parties.
As for the date Arnold and Maria separated … it isn’t specified in the divorce papers.
According to the docs, the property accumulated during the marriage will be divided at a later date. And, sources tell TMZ, there is no prenup, so all of Arnold and Maria’s earnings over the past quarter century will be divided 50/50.
Sources close to the couple tell TMZ … Arnold and Maria are on speaking terms and Arnold knew beforehand that she was filing divorce papers. Maria is telling friends she hopes this will be an easy and amicable divorce.
Another Happy Home Broken up. I guess she is not about to be like Hillary Clinton and stand by her man.
What’s the chances that he will get with his baby mama the housekeeper now?

My Heart Goes Out To Maria & I Hope She Finds True Love Again…
yep! (@comments) and maria’s very embarrassed! Sometimes embarrassment can give u dat strength u need 2 leave…
What Kobe did doesn’t compare to Arnold and Clinton…still bad though
Ummm Maria is Kennedy she’ll always have money! I think Hillary satyed for political reasons, Vanessa stayed with Kobe cause he’s a cash cow….Maria wouldn’t benefit staying with him so I don’t blame her for leaving!
Maria is her own woman. She has her own money. She just doesn’t need Arnold.
I think Arnold’s level of betrayal is waaaay deeper than what Bill and Kobe did. I mean come on. Dude was bangin’ this chick not only in the marital residence but in he and his wife’s BED. Then 2 top it all off … dude showed the ultimate disrespect by lettin’ off inside of this chick and then allowing her 2 bring their child 2 the home on a regular consistent basis so that Maria was treating this chick AND her son like family? Damn [shakes head in disgust] homegirl better seek some Therapy behind this one. #BEYONDF**KEDUP
i knew that was going to happen . Tell me , could you stay with your husband when you found put that he had a son with a worker in your house . I won’t ask to put the time factor in your thought process .
Kobe wife
Vanessa who?
Hillary had a lot to gain by staying with her friend Bill, Monica probably did her a favor anyways. Vanessa don’t have anywhere to go and know what to do. She has been a kept woman since before high school. Women like Maria dont have anything to lose or gain by staying with a liar and cheater.
