In Heard’s filing, she asked the court to have Depp pay her spousal support and attorney fees. They share daughter Lily-Rose, 16, and son Jack, 14.
The couple Wednesday in February, 2015, just over a year after Johnny asked Amber to be his wife.
The pair met when they starred in the Bruce Robinson-directed film ‘The Rum Diaries’, and recently hit the headlines when the couple tried to illegally bring their dogs into Australia.
The Australian court case started a year ago when Heard brought two dogs into the country where her husband was filming the latest movie in the Pirates of the Caribbean series.
Depp has one previous marriage and was in a long relationship with French actress and model Vanessa Paradis before he began dating Heard. The video was widely ridiculed for Depp’s wooden delivery.
