Zooey Deschanel has officially filed for divorce from Ben Gibbard, sliding the paperwork in at L.A. Superior Court before last year drew to a close.
Singer-songwriter and actress Deschanel, 31, and Death Cab for Cutie lead singer Gibbard, 35, separated on Halloween after two years of marriage. The decision was ‘mutual and amicable,’ it was reported at the time.
Court documents filed Dec. 27, obtained by TMZ, are par for the course in citing ‘irreconcilable differences,’ but the inclusion of her income and assets is a bit of a treat for the Hollywood-curious: The paperwork shows Deschanel with a little more than $3 million in assets, $95,000 a year coming in from She & Him and no credit card debt. Also detailed are expenses totaling $22,500 a month, including a $4,000-a-month mortgage, $2,000 a month for clothes and $1,500 going to charity.

Not surprising to see she’s doing OK — Deschanel had a pretty successful 2011 with the hot sitcom ‘New Girl’ and more: She notched a Grammy nomination for the song ‘So Long’ from ‘Winnie the Pooh’ and a Golden Globe nod for performance by an actress in a TV series, comedy or musical, which means, come Jan. 15, she’ll up against Tina Fey, Laura Dern, Laura Linney and Amy Poehler — no sweat, right? — for that shiny golden trophy.
Zooey also became an aunt in September, when sister Emily ‘Bones’ Deschanel and husband David Hornsby welcomed a baby boy.
