Fisher issued a statement saying, “This is a difficult time for me personally. For the sake of our children, I ask that everyone respects our privacy during this process.”
The Fishers were married Feb. 19th, 2005, and have two children together: twins Tatum and Drew. They each also have another child from a previous relationship.
Tatum has recovered from retinoblastoma, a rare form of eye cancer for which she was treated in 2007.The divorce seems to be as amicable as these things get — with Fisher asking for joint legal and physical custody of the children.
He also wants to split the legal costs.
