Almost eight months since announcing their split, Amber Heard and Johnny Deppās divorce nightmare is finally over, according to People.
On Friday, a Los Angeles judge finalized their divorce by reportedly throwing out all motions to delay, including Deppās request for Heard to pay $100,000 in legal fees, meaning that the two are now officially single.
āI just see this as a lot of bickering back and forth,ā the judge reportedly told the actorsā respective lawyers, according to The Daily News.
As per their original agreement, Depp is now required to pay Heard what remains of their nearly $7 million divorce settlement, which the āJustice Leagueā actress has pledged to donate to charity. According to TMZ, Heardās attempt to renegotiate the settlement was also rejected by the judge, as both actors will now pay their own legal fees.
āIt is a great day. All Amber wanted was to be divorced and now she is,ā Heardās attorney, Pierce OāDonnell, told People. āIn the words of Gerald Ford, āOur long national nightmare is over.āā
In December, Heard filed a Request for Order after a delay in payment from Depp to ensure that the āPirates of the Caribbeanā actor finalizes the division of the coupleās assets and follows through on the settlement. A week later, Depp fired back by requesting Heard assist in the payment of his legal fees.
Heard initially filed for divorce in May, citing āirreconcilable differencesā before accusing Depp of physically and verbally abusing her throughout their marriage. The pair, who first met on the set of the film āThe Rum Diary,ā had only been married for 15 months.
The Huffington Post has reached out to both Heardās and Deppās representatives and will update the post accordingly.
