Slash has filed for divorce from his wife - for the second time in four years.

The 49-year-old rocker submitted court documents seeking to end his 13-year marriage to Perla Hudson in Los Angeles on Tuesday shortly after she issued him with an ultimatum to clean up his act.

The former Guns N' Roses star - whose real name is Saul Hudson - cited irreconcilable differences and listed their date of separation as June 15th in his legal documents.

It's over... again! Slash has filed for divorce from wife Perla Ferrara, four years after he initially filed for divorce but withdrew the petition

He has also requested joint physical and legal custody of their sons, 12-year-old London and 10-year-old Cash, according to gossip website TMZ.com.

Perla, 39, unexpectedly flew to Hawaii with their children on Sunday after threatening to end their marriage unless Slash agreed to sort out their problems by the beginning of 2015.

The former couple have had many arguments during their marriage but one source recently said: 'This time it's different.'

Happily married: Perla and Slash, pictured here last year, were enjoying being back together just last year but now she is said to have fled for Hawaii for some 'time alone'

And the flame-haired beauty has been filling up her social media feeds with messages about 'being alone' and 'taking time' while her husband is missing from the holiday snaps.

Among the inspirational messages was one that read: 'Why would I want to be alone with my thoughts? Have you heard some of the s**t that comes out of my mouth? I'm f***ing nuts!!' alongside a caption saying, 'self professed... #iwarnedyou'

Only days before, she'd shared a happy family picture featuring Slash and her two sons, which was captioned, 'Another late post of my beautiful family. Happy holidays everyone!'

The mother-of-two was clearly feeling a little pleased with herself when she'd taken herself away from the family home however, when she shared a picture with the message 'Take time to do what makes your soul happy.'

This isn't the first time the couple's marriage has hit the rocks.

In 2010, Slash filed for divorce from his wife - who is also his manager and runs all his companies - but he withdrew the petition two months later when he and Perla worked things out.

Only one year before, Slash had openly thanked his wife - who he initially met backstage at a Guns N' Roses gig - and family for helping him get 'rid of all the real hardcore stuff that [he] used to live on.'

He later told the Telegraph that he'd quit alcohol, drugs and smoking because 'the missus was bugging [him] about it.’
