Actor Courteney Cox Arquette is seeking to legally drop her husband’s name once the former couple’s divorce is finalised. The actor included the request in a response to estranged husband David Arquette’s divorce filing. Records show both actors filed their paperwork within a minute of each other. Both cite irreconcilable differences as the reason for the end of their 12-year marriage, and both are seeking custody of their 8-year-old daughter.
