Arquette filed divorce papers in Los Angeles June 8, and Cox responded.

Both refused to hire a lawyer to help them fill out the legal paperwork and both state they are being represented by "self", reports tmz.com.

According to sources, the two had no pre-nuptial agreement, and have agreed to split the money earned during their 12 years of companionship, in half.

They have asked for joint physical and legal custody of their eight-year-old daughter, Coco, and the actress wants her name legally restored to Courteney Cox.
