Famous Celebrity Divorces

As we all know, Hollywood has quite an over abundance of divorce proceedings on any given day. Today’s society looks up to these well-known actors and actresses as role models, but they are not setting very good examples. Brad Pitt and Jennifer Anniston seemed to be living the dream, a fairytale romance of sorts, but not behind the scenes. Five years after their lavish wedding, they called it quits. Jennifer takes blame for a lot of their problems from growing up in a troubled household with parents who split.

Shania Twain ended it all in May of 2008 with her husband, Mutt Lange, of fourteen years. She accused him of having relations with her assistant, who was a good friend of hers. They went to court to settle who gets the estate and who will get custody of their 7 year old son, Elijah. Heather Mills wanted a divorce from Paul McCartney, because she said he physically abused her over their years of marriage. In court, she produced a detailed log over a two to three year time period of incidents that occurred on specific dates.

Another much publicized separation was that of Britney Spears and Kevin Federline, citing irreconcilable differences. She wanted full custody of their two boys, Sean Preston and Jayden James, but, as we all know, Britney went through some very hard times and custody was granted to Kevin, with her only being able to visit with them while being watched by a court liaison. According to the tabloids, their marriage was doomed from the very beginning.
