Heidi Montag Files for Legal Separation, Not Divorce
Heidi Montag filed for legal separation from husband Spencer Pratt at a Santa Monica courthouse today, listing irreconcilable differences as the cause behind the split.
But Montag did not file divorce papers. Filing for legal separation means the reality star's earnings will become her separate property beginning on the date of separation, which she lists as June 8. The Hills star's papers do not list a lawyer.
Montag recently moved out of the couple's home. "There are so many lies out there about me and I just needed space - even away from my husband," she told People magazine.
Montag, 23, is currently living with her friend, Hills guest star Jen Bunney. The two are shooting a new reality show together this summer.
