Sometimes turbulence in a marriage is just a passing part of the journey, a time to re-fasten your seatbelts and lock in your tray tables; however, after one, two, or a few bouts of tumultuous crosswinds, it may be time to make an emergency landing and evacuate.

Two-time Academy award winning actor Sean Penn and wife Robin Wright Penn have negotiated the fine line of fighting to stay together and fighting to go their own ways on a few occasions, having initiated divorce proceedings in 2007 and earlier in 2009.  However, this time it was Robin Wright Penn who filed the papers in a Northern California court in Marin County.

Citing “irreconcilable differences” Robin Wright submitted the divorce papers earlier last week.  Specifically, Wright Penn’s filing stated that “both parties have already agreed to [shared] custody” of their son, age 16 and that “the estranged couple have already agreed to division of all property.” 

Irreconcilable differences is a common basis in filing for a no-fault divorce.  The non-filing spouse cannot object or stop a filing for no-fault divorce, unlike in a fault-based divorce in which the non-filing spouse can contest the basis of fault.
