A simple divorce may be easier said than done when it comes to Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz, reports People. The pair announced the end of their two year marriage last month when Simpson filed for divorce. Initially, the couple made a joint statment saying, “We remain friends and deeply committed and loving parents to our son Bronx, whose happiness and well-being remains our No. 1 priority.” Now, Wentz has filed a divorce response in Los Angeles. Simpson had orginally filed for divorce requesting sole custody of their two-year-old son. Wentz’s request seeks joint custody.
