JAKARTA - Danny Masterson was sued for divorce by his wife, Bijou Philips. This was revealed in the latest document filed by Philips to the California court on Monday, September 18.

(Bijou) Philips chose to sue for divorce from her husband in this unlucky situation. The priority is to be with his daughter," said Lauzon Paluch, Bijou Philips' lawyer as reported by TMZ.

"This situation makes it difficult for marriage and family. Masterson is always present for Philips in his difficult times. Philips admits Masterson is a good father to their child," he said.

This decision is clearly different from the initial statement when Danny Masterson was sentenced to 30 years in prison. At that time, several sources said Philips was trying to stay by Masterson's side as long as his husband had gone through this difficult time.

Support continued to be seen when Philips was seen at Danny Masterson's trial. After the verdict was delivered, Masterson kissed Philips who was wearing glasses at the trial.

Philips also wrote letters of support such as the couple Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis. He said his husband was the savior of his life.

I am writing this to ask you to consider the punishment for my husband, Danny Masterson. I can say he is the savior of my life. I rely on him taking care of me and our son," the model wrote.

She loves our children very much, reads books, accompanies her way and ballet classes. Never heard her complain. They can't be separated," he said.

In his letter, Bijou Philips said Danny Masterson helped him get out of alcohol addiction.

On the other hand, Bijou Philips asked Masterson for his partner's support and asked for legal and physical custody of their child. In addition, he also asked for their assets to be divided considering that they did not have a pre-wedding agreement.

Danny Masterson and Bijou Philips' marriage ended after 12 years in the household. They just call the difference that cannot be resolved the reason they cannot maintain the marriage.

Danny Masterson was sentenced to 30 years in prison after being found guilty of the rape of two women in 2001 and 2003.
