"Debra Messing has officially filed divorce papers in court. The Smash actress met estranged husband Daniel Zelman when they were graduate students at New York University in 1990, marrying him ten years later on September 3, 2000.  Messing cited irreconcilable differences in the filing, lodged at Los Angeles County Supreme Court today (Tuesday, June 5), reports TMZ. She has also filed for joint custody of their 8-year-old son Roman Walker Zelman and requested spousal and child support. The documents give the couple&amp;#039;s date of separation as February 15, 2010, although it was revealed when news of their separation broke last winter that Messing and Zelman were still living together. A spokesperson for Messing said at the time: &amp;quot;In the short term they plan on continuing to live together with their son, then gradually transition into a new living situation.&amp;quot; Messing is represented by Neal Hersh, who has previously acted in family law cases for celebrities including Halle Berry, Kim Basinger and Denise Richards.
