The forecast looks bright for Jason London's romantic life.

The star of Dazed and Confused and Syfy's upcoming Weather Wars has finally obtained a divorce from wife Charlie Spradlingeight years after the duo first separated.

Probably a good move considering the 38-year-old London just got engaged last November to current squeeze, Sofia Karstens.  (The lovebirds are pictured.)

According to Los Angeles Superior Court records, Spradling filed the final paperwork on Thursday and the divorce is now official.

Per the petition, she will get sole physical custody of their 15-year-old daughter, Cooper, and the court ordered the actor to pay $1,000-a-month in child support. Neither was  mandated to pay spousal support.

Jason, the identical twin of actor Jeremy, tied the knot with Charlie back in 1999, but they split three years later. But they didn't get around to filing for divorce until February 2010.

He is now free to move forward with bride-to-be Karstens, a Canadian-born actress. The pair plan to swap vows July 16 in Vermont.
