The singer, 25, cites "irreconcilable differences" in court paperwork, according to TMZ.com. She's not asking for spousal support, and has also requested not to pay spousal support to Whibley.

Us Weekly first reported on Sept. 17 that the pair had called it quits after three years and one month of marriage.

"She dumped him and told him she was leaving him. She wants to move on," a source told Us, adding that she forced him out of their $9.5 million, 12,000-square-foot estate in L.A.'s Bel Air. 

Whibley, 29, "is crushed," another insider told Us then.

The following day, Lavigne confirmed on her blog that she was separating from her Sum 41 rocker husband.

    What? Another celebrity marriage hitting the rocks? Surprise. I guess in Hollywood, "working" at a marriage is just too hard.

    This isnt breaking news, this has been in the media for some time now! I do find it ironic how people always give the generic speech that "they are the best person they have ever known and love them so much..." Apparently they werent if you are leaving them!

    Who cares. I bet she's about to foreclose on that house too. Can't make much $$ when everything you do sucks.
