Details of Reese Witherspoon’s Divorce From Jim Toth
Reese Witherspoon’s divorce was filed at the Davidson County court. According to reports gathered, it was initiated on Saturday. The divorce docs will consider the couple’s prenuptial agreement signed in 2011.
Regarding their prenuptial agreement, the court will grant “adequate and sufficient provisions” to their assets. The actress will have to release a permanent parenting plan to the court and their prenup.
For now, they are mandated to attend a parenting class. Following the process, they will be given sixty days to submit a certificate of completion.
Before their divorce, Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth have been married for twelve years. They met in 2010, two years after her first marriage ended. The “Legally Blonde” star was first married to Ryan Phillippe, with whom she shares two kids.
Though Witherspoon confessed she was too young for her first marriage, the experience changed her. Meeting Toth felt like a new beginning, but she did not hope to find a happy ever after. In her 2011 interview, she jokingly talked about why anyone would settle for her.
In her words:
“And you’re surprised somebody wants to be with you because, boy, I’ve got a lot of quirks and wrinkles.”
Somehow, it did not translate into their romance. The couple went on to share their vows in 2011 and welcomed a son. They even maintained a healthy blended family, including Witherspoon’s older kids.
Amid the divorce, the couple has mentioned their determination to keep a sound relationship. Via their statement, they pledged to honor everything they created as a team.
