LOS ANGELES, CA Knoxville filed for divorce
last July, claiming irreconcilable differences with his wife:
Melanie Lynn Clapp. They had separated a year before that, in July
of 2006.
Knoxville had asked for joint custody of their 12-year-old
daughter. Custody arrangements and child support are not included
in the divorce judgment.
By the way, Knoxville's birth name is
Philip John Clapp, which is why his wife's last name is Clapp.
