Ryan Phillippe wants joint custody of his children with “Walk the Line” Oscar-winner Reese Witherspoon.

Reese Witherspoon filed for divorce on Nov. 8, citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split, and she asked for physical custody of the acting couple’s two children — 7-year-old Ava and 3-year-old Deacon.

In the Superior Court divorce petition, Witherspoon, 31, asked for visitation for Phillippe, 32, and “exclusive use of the family residence.”

In a response filed Tuesday by his attorneys, Phillippe also cited irreconcilable differences but asked for joint legal custody and physical custody of the children as well as visitation granted “to both parties, equally allocated.” Phillippe’s petition was first reported by CelebTV.com.

Divorce is tough, especially on the kids, hopefully Reese plays nice, she seems like such a sweetheart.
