robin wright penn files for divorce

It's over -- again. Robin Wright Penn has filed for divorce from hubby Sean Penn. The "Milk" star and Robin wed in 1996, and have initiated divorce twice in the past.

The legal documents filed in California and obtained by People magazine cite the reason for the split as "irreconcilable differences." According to the papers, both Robin and Sean have "already agreed to shared custody" of their son, Hopper Jack, 16. The couple has also agreed on the division of assets. Robin is not seeking spousal support.

Robin recently revealed to More magazine that she has no plans to reconcile with her husband, saying, "I hit that crossroad awhile ago -- I know what I don't want." Still, Wright Penn doesn't regret her marriage to Sean. "I have no regrets. I, we, have two amazing children we raised together."

In addition to son Hopper, they have a daughter, Dylan Frances, 18.

sean penn drops film roles to be with family

Sean Penn has pulled out of several film roles, including a planned stint as Larry Fine in "The Three Stooges." He's also dropped "Cartel" -- and word is he's putting work on the back burner to focus on his family.

Penn's rep, Mara Buxbaum, confirmed to the AP that the "Milk" man was dropping out of the films, but did not specify the reason. Buxbaum did reveal that if start dates for productions were postponed, Sean would remain involved with both films.

Penn's marital turmoil with wife Robin Wright Penn is no secret. Last month, Sean withdrew a petition to separate from his wife of 13 years. The couple also filed for divorce in December 2007, but dismissed that separation a few months later.

The couple walked the red carpet together at the Oscars earlier this year, where Penn won Best Actor for his role in "Milk." Sean and Robin have two teenaged children.
