Nicole Kidman filed for a divorce from Keith Urban after 19 years of marriage, which surprisingly stopped a long and seemingly successful union, which gathered two superstars from worlds of films and music.
The 58-year-old actor, who received an Oscar, petitioned on Tuesday to put an end to her marriage with a 57-year-old country singer who defeated Grammy, in court in Nashville. The documents say that the couple was subjected to “family difficulties and irreconcilable differences.”
Kidman and Urban have two teenage daughters-17-year-old Sunday Rose and 14-year-old Faith Margaret.
Applications include the dissolution of marriage and a plan for children's care, agreed by the couple and submitted for the approval of the judge.
“The mother and father will behave with each other and with each child to provide loving, stable, consistent and caring relations with the child, even if they are divorced,” says a constant education plan, using the language usual in the state divorce.
“They will not talk badly about each other or about family members of another parent. They will encourage each child to continue to love another parent and feel comfortable in both families. ”
The plan asks Kidman to be the main residential parent for her daughters, having them for 306 days a year, when Urban accepts them for the rest of 59. The girls lived in Nashville all his life, and the documents do not give any signs that will change.
The statement says that each parent earns more than $ 100,000 a month, and none of them will require support for child care or marital support.
The collapse of the marriage sets out an approximately equal division of joint assets, each of which retains all the assets that are on their own name, including copyright and royalties for their artistic work.
A detailed agreement suggests that the divorce was in development, at least for more than a month. Urban signed a plan for raising children on August 29, Kidman on September 6.
It will take at least 90 days for the divorce to become final according to the Law of Tennessee. Representatives of Kidman and Urban did not respond to requests by e -mail to a comment on Tuesday.
Both grew up in Australia, Kidman and Urban met in 2005 at an event in Los -Angeles in honor of the Australians and got married in Sydney next year.
The marriage was the first for Urban, and the second for Kidman, who was married to Tom Cruise from 1990 to 2001. Kidman also has two older children with a cruise.

Urban said that she showed him “how love actually looks in action” when his problems with abuse of psychoactive substances arose almost immediately after they married in 2006.
“Four months after our marriage, I am in rehabilitation for three months,” Urban said.
