LOS ANGELES (AP) - The wife of actor Lou Diamond Phillips has filed for divorce, according to court papers.

Phillips, 42, and Kelly Phillips were married April 1994 and separated Jan. 27, according to a petition filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court. Kelly Phillips is seeking joint legal custody of the couple's three daughters, but requesting they live with her. The two have seven-year-old twins and a five-year-old.

A message left Tuesday with publicist Eddie Michaels, who has represented the actor, wasn't immediately returned.

Phillips has starred in dozens of TV shows and films, including La Bamba, Stand and Deliver and Young Guns.
