Grey's Oh Suddenly Single

After a year and a half on life support, a judge has finally pulled the plug on Sandra Oh's marriage.

On Dec. 21, the Los Angeles Superior Court officially restored the single status of the Grey's Anatomy doc and her estranged hubby, Sideways writer-director Alexander Payne.

While the duo are now free to remarry—or at the very least, hit up singles night at Joe's Bar—their divorce is still pending settlement of several financial issues.

According to tmz.com, which obtained the star-powered legal paperwork, the 35-year-old Emmy nominee and the 45-year-old Oscar winner have yet to hash out details of spousal support, which Oh requested last year, or come to an agreed-upon division of individual retirement and pension plans.

Per the court documents, the camera-ready twosome has yet to divide up plans from the Screen Actors, Writers and Directors Guilds, profits from their Pretty Intelligent Girl Productions, and financial packages from various other joint endeavors.

Despite the money matters not yet being settled, the now ex-couple sought to have their marital status dissolved by year's end in order to appease Uncle Sam and file their taxes under separate, single headings.

The critically acclaimed couple first announced plans to separate in March 2005, fresh off the award-circuit rounds for their wine-soaked independent dramedy Sideways.

A month after declaring their mutual decision to remain besties despite their marital collapse, Oh officially filed for divorce, requesting unspecified spousal support from Payne and asking the court to block him from requesting anything from her.

It was the first marriage for the childless stars, who tied the knot in January 2003 after dating for three years.

Though if the past 12 months are any indication, singlehood is going to suit Oh just fine.

Since splitting from Payne, the Canadian-born actor landed a breakout role on Grey's Anatomy as one of Seattle Grace's finest, for which she's already taken home a Golden Globe Award and an Emmy nomination.

Payne, who won an Oscar and Golden Globe for his Sideways screenplay (shared with cowriter Jim Taylor), has also been keeping busy postsplit, directing the Adam Sandler and Kevin James comedy I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, due out next July.

Oh's restored single status, meanwhile, seems to put her in the minority at her TV home. Formerly solo costars Ellen Pompeo and Katherine Heigl each announced their engagements earlier this year.
