William Shatner, 88, files for divorce from wife of 18 years Elizabeth – The Sun

WILLIAM Shatner is about to start the new decade as a single man after filing for divorce from his wife Elizabeth Martin.

Court documents state the couple, who married in 2001, have been separated since February of this year.

Shatner, who is best known for his role as Captain Kirk in the Star Trek franchise, is believed to have a pre-nup in place so proceedings could run smoothly.

According to TMZ, the former couple are still negotiating the financial terms but neither of them will get spousal support.

Shatner, who is said to be worth $100 million, also has no children with his fourth wife, so there's no custody agreement to negotiate either.

The 88-year-old actor was previously married to Nerine Kidd, Marcy Lafferty and Gloria Rand, and had three children with Rand.

 

The actor experienced heartache when his third wife died unexpectedly in 1999.

Meanwhile, Martin was previously married to Michael Glenn Martin.

Shatner has hired celebrity attorney, Laura Wasser, who has represented the likes of Ryan Reynolds, Heidi Klum and Kim Kardashian.
