Courtney Thorne-Smith Files for Divorce After 18 Years

Actress Courtney Thorne-Smith has officially filed for divorce from her husband Roger Fishman, nearly four years after their reported separation.

According to court documents filed earlier this week, per TMZ, Thorne-Smith, 56, is citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split. 

She submitted the paperwork without legal representation and listed their date of separation as September 1, 2021 — suggesting the couple has been living apart for quite some time.

Thorne-Smith and Fishman married on January 1, 2007, and welcomed their only child, Jacob Emerson Fishman, the following year. 

Now 17, Jacob is nearing adulthood, but the Melrose Place star is requesting joint legal and physical custody as part of the divorce proceedings, according to the outlet.

In the filing, Thorne-Smith also asked the court to terminate its ability to award spousal support to either party.
