A couple of months after confirming their separation, Scarlett Johansson has now formally filed for divorce from her husband of two and a half years, Romain Dauriac. However, there’s also reportedly set to be a hotly contested custody battle in the offing regarding their three year old daughter.

The New York Post’s Page Six column reported on Tuesday (March 7th) that Johansson’s lawyer, Judith Poller, served papers to Dauriac’s attorney Harold Mayerson filing for divorce in Manhattan’s Supreme Court, saying their marriage is “irretrievably broken”.

The Avengers star is also requesting primary custody of their three year old daughter, Rose Dorothy. However, former advertising exec Dauriac plans to fight this, with his attorney quoted as saying he “would like to move to France with his daughter and Ms. Johansson does a lot of traveling. It will be an interesting process.”

Johansson, who was previously married to Ryan Reynolds, started dating Dauriac in 2012, marrying in October 2014 shortly after they welcomed their daughter.

However, it was announced last summer that they had effectively split up, Johansson having decided that they didn’t actually have much in common.

Since then, they have been co-parenting, with Johansson taking Rose to various filming locations around the world, but Dauriac is thought to have grown exasperated at the schedule which would only give him access to his daughter for a couple of days at a time.

 “The kid was bouncing back and forth,” a source told Us Weekly a few months ago. “It can’t work because [Johansson] travels so much.”

The news comes just a month after the 32 year old actress told Playboy: “I think the idea of marriage is very romantic; it’s a beautiful idea, and the practice of it can be a very beautiful thing… [but] I don’t think it’s natural to be a monogamous person. I might be skewered for that, but I think it’s work. It’s a lot of work.”
