Ricci filed documents in Los Angeles County Superior Court to dissolve her marriage with James Heerdegen, citing irreconcilable differences.

The documents say that Ricci wants sole legal and physical custody of their five-year-old son, Freddie.

The actress is best known for her childhood work in hit films including Casper and The Addams Family, and for her adult appearances in indie films including Black Snake Moan and Buffalo 66.
