By ckramer

?Dawson?s Creek? star James Van Der Beek and his wife Heather McComb ended their marriage this past November, and recently finalized their settlement in Los Angeles court.

They were married in July 2003 and they have no children together. Their relationship started to have issues so they separated in April 2009.

Van Der Beek then filed for divorce from McComb citing irreconcilable differences. Since their split, their attorneys have been in mediation to resolve the terms of their divorce.

The divorce papers state that Van Der Beek?s monthly income is $35,000. A large amount compared to McComb?s $1,700 per month salary. So she has requested that he pay her alimony.

The Associated Press reported that the couple recently came to a settlement in which Van Der Beek will pay spousal support to his ex in the amount of $7,750 until 2012.

But Van Der Beek gets to keep a few things for himself. He will keep their North Hollywood home and have all their bank accounts in his name.

He gets all residuals from his television shows and movies as well as the rights to his screen plays and other projects he created.

Their divorce will be official June 3rd.

Sandra Bullock has finally called it quits with her marriage to Jesse James as reported by the New York Daily News.

Both Bullock and soon to be ex had been in the headlines the past couple of months. James has been accused of alleged infidelity and is now in a custody dispute over his 11-year-old daughter.

Rumors have buzzed whether or not Bullock would actually file for divorce after all the gossip. It was alleged that James had affairs with several women while married to Bullock.

Before they tied the knot, the two signed a prenuptial agreement. It stated that if James cheated on Bullock, he would receive nothing after the two divorced.

Bullock is allegedly devastated over the divorce and is not concerned about the money at this point in the game.

There is no set date for the legal separation.
