The One Tree Hill alum, 62, has been married to Lind since 1999, but the couple has been separated since November 2021, according to a divorce petition obtained by PEOPLE. On May 24, nearly three years after separating from the actress, Lind officially filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. In the filing, Lind requested joint legal and physical custody of their 16-year-old daughter, Alyvia, which is in keeping with the agreement the couple made in July 2022, whereby they both agreed on joint legal and physical custody of Alyvia, who was 14 at the time. In their 2022 filing, Lind and Woods described themselves as separated as of November 2021 due to a result of irreconcilable differences, which “caused the irremediable breakdown of our marriage.” The Cast of 'One Tree Hill': Where Are They Now?
