Hollywood actor Christian Slater and television producer Ryan Haddon, who married on Valentine's Day in 2000, separated in January last year citing irreconcilable differences.
Slater, 37, is best known for his roles in Alone in the Dark and Mindhunters. Slater's most recent film is Bobby, which deals with the 1968 death of US senator Robert Kennedy.
(news.bbc.co.uk) The split followed an altercation in November 2003, in which Ms Haddon was arrested for allegedly hitting Slater with a glass in a Las Vegas hotel room. No charges were brought against her.
He has two children, daughter and son, by Ms Haddon, 35, but it is not clear whether his request for joint custody has been granted.
