Van Dien filed the papers, obtained by TMZ.com, in Los Angeles earlier this week (beg21Sep15), citing irreconcilable differences.

He is asking for joint physical and legal custody of the pair's two daughters, Amanda, 14, and Celeste, 11.

Both stars now have two failed marriages behind them - Van Dien was married to Carrie Mitchum from 1993 to 1997, and Oxenburg, who is the daughter of Princess Elizabeth of Yugoslavia, had her nine-day marriage to movie mogul Robert Evans annulled in July, 1998.

Van Dien and Oxenburg wed in Las Vegas in 1999.
