Patricia Arquette Cites Irreconcilable Differences as Reason for Divorce

By Sheryl Rentz on March 11, 2009

On January 5, 2009, actress Patricia Arquette — perhaps best known for her starring role in the NBC series Medium — filed suit in Superior Court to dissolve her two and a half year marriage to Thomas Jane. The couple married in May of 2006, and they have a five year old daughter together named Harlow whom Patricia Arquette is aiming to get full child custody.

Sources close to the couple suggest that tensions between the pair began to boil late in 2008, when Jane admitted to having driven drunk. Some speculate that Jane — who has acted in such movies as The Punisher (2004) and The Mist (2007) — had been growing increasingly jealous of Arquette’s high profile. Others suggest that he was privately bitter over her winning an Emmy for her performance in Medium.

Patricia Arquette has retained Laura Wasser, a high profile Los Angeles divorce attorney who has handled numerous other celebrity divorce cases, including Stevie Wonder’s and Britney Spears’ divorces.
