"The Insider" has obtained the documents Sean Penn filed seeking a legal separation from actress wife Robin Wright Penn.

The Oscar winner filed the papers last Friday seeking legal separation with minor children.

In December of 2007 both Sean and Robin filed for divorce separately, both citing irreconcilable differences for the split. Penn filed for divorce on Dec. 7, but the case was dismissed by both parties on Dec. 18. Wright then filed for divorce three days later on Dec. 21. In April 2008, the divorce was dismissed at the couple's request.

Sean, 48, and Robin, 43, began dating in the early '90s and have two children together: daughter Dylan Frances, 18, and son Hopper Jack, 15.

  • This saddens me, as I thought this was one couple who might truly make it. If there was trouble in the marriage, it didn't show at the academy awards, but I'm starting to believe no one can make it in Hollywood save a few. It is now on to other...
