Amala
Paul
finally
filed
a
divorce
petition
in
Chennai
family
court,
thus
confirming
her
split
with
estranged
husband,
AL
Vijay.
The
divorce
will
be
granted
after
a
statutory
period
of
6
months.
Reportedly,
Amala
Paul
has
decided
not
to
accept
alimony
from
AL
Vijay
and
has
clearly
mentioned
that
in
her
petition.
The
actress
was
accompanied
by
her
family
members,
throughout
the
court
procedures.
According
to
the
sources,
Amala
and
Vijay
spend
almost
45
minutes
on
the
court,
along
with
their
respective
advocates.
The
couple
has
filed
for
divorce
with
mutual
consent,
under
the
Section
13(b)
of
Hindu
Marriage
Act.
Amala
Paul
and
AL
Vijay
fell
in
love
during
the
filming
of
their
first
project
together,
Deiva
Thirumagal.
They
tied
the
knot
on
12th
June
of
2014
in
Chennai,
with
the
blessings
of
both
the
families.
The
divorce
started
doing
rounds
since
the
last
week
of
July,
after
the
actress
confirmed
that
she
has
relocated
to
her
hometown,
Kochi.
It
was
rumoured
that
the
couple
decided
to
part
ways
due
to
Amala's
career
interests.
She
has
signed
a
three-year-long
contract
for
the
upcoming
movie
Vada
Chennai,
which
didn't
go
well
with
Vijay
and
family.
But
the
director
slammed
the
reports
and
stated
that
it
was
the
trust
issues
which
led
to
the
split.
