"The Insider" has learned that singer Avril Lavigne has filed for divorce from rocker Deryck Whibley.

In court documents obtained by "The Insider," Avril cites irreconcilable differences as the reason behind the split with her estranged husband, a member of rock band Sum 41.

She also requests to terminate the court's ability to award spousal support to Whibley.

Last month, Lavigne blogged about the breakup, writing the following message on her MySpace.com page: "Deryck and I have been together for 6 and a half years. We have been friends since I was 17, started dating when I was 19, and married when I was 21. I am grateful for our time together, and I am grateful and blessed for our remaining friendship. I admire Deryck and have a great amount of respect for him. He is the most amazing person I know and I love him with all my heart. Deryck and I are separating and moving forward on a positive note. Thank you to all my family, friends and fans for all your support."

Lavigne and Whibley were married in July of 2006 and separated last month.
