Penn And Wright Agree To Division Of Property, Custody

SAN RAFAEL, Calif. — Robin Wright and husband Sean Penn have already agreed on how they will divide property in their divorce, according to court records.

Wright, 43, filed for divorce Aug. 12 in San Rafael, Calif., citing irreconcilable differences with Penn, 49, her husband of more than a decade. The couple have agreed to share custody of their 16-year-old son Hopper Jack.

The couple also has an 18-year-old daughter, Dylan Francis.

Publicists for Wright and Penn didn't immediately return e-mails seeking comment Wednesday. A message for Wright's lawyer, Bruce Clemens, was also not immediately returned.

The couple, married in April 1996, have filed for separation or divorce twice before, only to dismiss their petitions.

Penn asked for separation as recently as April. But he later withdrew the petition, telling the New York Daily News the filing was "an arrogant mistake."

The couple met on the set of the 1990 Irish mob movie "State of Grace." Penn had previously married and divorced Madonna, and Wright was married once before to former soap star Dane Witherspoon.

They attended the Academy Awards together in February when Penn received an Oscar for his role in "Milk." But he didn't thank Wright in his acceptance speech.

It was Penn's second Oscar. He had won previously for his role in "Mystic River."

Wright is best known for her roles in "The Princess Bride" and "Forrest Gump."

The couple has been ordered to appear in court on Dec. 17 in the divorce case, according to court filings.

The money that will go to the lawyers and waste redundant profiteers (2 other legal separations?) would feed our little town for a year. Think globally Sean, but act locally.

This is sad. One of my favorite movies is "She's so lovely". I thought the two of them portrayed real love in that film. I had always been a fan of Seans but that film really made me respect him. Maybe they should screen it together again. Love lost is very sad indeed. Especially from two very talented people.

[LovingHope]

Too bad. I thought they made a nice couple. She is beautiful and he is so talented. Oh, well. I wish them the best.

[LeeCalif]

Sorry. Take care, both of you.

"War of the Roses"....Sean didn't mention his wife in a acceptance speech for a major award, NOW THAT'S ARROGANT. However I really do like the names they chose for their children.

[Elkims]

Classical case of a love and hate relationship.

[duze]

Hopper Jack, yes these two people do need to be divorced. It was just plain wrong for them to put that name on a kid.

[rzan1]

He was named after Dennis Hopper and Jack Nicholson. I like the name. Much more original than Kyle or Riley or some other overused name of the day.

[rzan1]

I meant to add "Tyler" to the list of boring, unoriginal names.

I hope that now this is settled Mr.Penn will drop back in to the cast of the upcoming "3 Stooges" biopic as Larry Fine. I think he would do a fantastic job with the character and was so sad when he dropped out "to work on his marriage."

Making relationships last in Hollywood is very difficult. That they have been together for so long indicates that they have been able to hold it together very well, compared to most, even better than many people out of Hollywood.

BTW, my favorite Robin Wright movies are Blade Runner and Message in a Bottle.

[TigersEye]

Blade Runner was Daryl Hannah. ;)

[FloridaLady131722]

My favorite was Forrest Gump

[FACINGREALIT]

She wasn't about to let him have the last word as to the ending of their marriage. It's funny how she refiled right after he withdrew his petition. WOW

[crossoverwriter]

Robin, you can do better.

[CarbonCreditSeller]

I've heard that he dumped her and will be moving in with Chavez.

[RockinDiva]

It seems like this is being settled amicably. Good for them. Maybe they can send Jon

[dcnola]

If she doesn't go through with it this time, she deserves what she gets. You have to seriously question her sanity for staying married to Penn for this long.

Oh, and why is that?
Is Sean Penn a violent, crazyman, a serial philanderer, or what?

I don't know the guy. Do you?

All I DO know about Sean Penn is that he's an intelligent, well-read man and one of the best--if not THE best--actor of his generation, and a friend of other interesting, intelligent people.
Wright's a fine actress. I don't know anything else about her.

[fcsakes]

Ditto

[TakLoufer]

Serial philanderer? Yes, by some accounts on Defamer back when he first filed for divorce from Wright.

Violent streak? Apparently you don't remember his temper tantrums directed at papparazzi in the 80's. Whether he dared hit Robin or Madonna or Liz McGovern over the years is up to them to attest to.

Crazyman? Makes overtures to dictators like Hussein and Chavez like he thinks he's some kind of holy peacemaker. Inane delusions of grandeur here.

But as to the rest: great actor, good director, interesting friends, and beautiful, talented (ex) wife. True.

For the love of god, just do it already!
