London, Oct 29: Oscar-nominated British actor Jude Law was divorced from Sadie Frost Wednesday after she blamed him for exacerbating her post-natal depression, court papers showed.
British actress Frost said Law's behavior forced her to seek treatment three times following the birth of the couple's third child in January.
No more details were given at a brief hearing at London's High Court, which the couple did not attend. They separated after nearly six years of marriage in January.
Frost, 38, and Law, 30, made no immediate comment, although they previously said they wanted the divorce to be "as painless as possible" for their children.
"We have agreed that a divorce is the only way forward," the couple said in a statement when they announced plans to divorce in August.
