Johnny Knoxville is officially a single Jackass.
The 37-year-old stunt star's divorce from Melanie Lynn Clapp was finalized on March 20, according to court documents obtained by E! News. (View the documents.)
Issues such as division of property, spousal and child support and attorneys' fees were still being worked out. Attorneys for Clapp declined to comment on the split.
Knoxville, whose real name is Philip John Clapp, filed for divorce on July 3, 2007, citing irreconcilable differences. In his petition, he requested joint custody of the couple's 12-year-old daughter, Madison.
The twosome had been separated since July 17, 2006, according to court documents. They tied the knot on May 15, 1995.
Apart from his common-sense-defying turns in both small and big-screen editions of Jackass, Knoxville's credits include roles in 2005's Dukes of Hazzard and 2002's Men in Black II.
