Actress Mina Suvari files for divorce after 18 months of marriage

Actress Mina Suvari has filed for divorce from Italian concert promoter Simone Sestito after just 18 months of marriage.

Suvari filed for divorce on Friday in LA Superior Court citing “irreconcilable differences.” The court documents stated the couple separated in November of 2011.

Suvari and Sestito met at the Toronto film festival in 2007. After a brief romance the pair married at a private ceremony in Vatican City in 2010.  

This will be the second time Suvari has been divorced. She was previously married to cinematographer Robert Brinkman, but ended the marriage after five years.

A number of high profile celebrities have retained divorce attorneys to end their marriages in the past year including Russell Brand and Katy Perry, Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries, Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher to name just a few.

Celebrities, like the average person, must have the help of a divorce lawyer to iron out the details of asset and property division and in some instances child custody. Even after a brief marriage a spouse can be eligible for alimony or spousal support. When the question of who gets what arises it is important to have a person who will protect your interests.

A person doesn’t have to be wealthy to require the services of a divorce attorney. They will make certain that each of the parties involved are fairly represented and have favorable outcomes. With an attorney’s help your divorce can be less painful.
