Naya Rivera refiles for divorce from husband Ryan Dorsey 10 days after her arrest for domestic battery
Naya Rivera has filed for divorce from Ryan Dorsey - just 10 days after her arrest for domestic battery against her husband.
The 30-year-old actress, who has been married to Ryan, 34, for three years, is citing irreconcilable differences in the filing, according to TMZ.
She is asking for joint custody of their two-year-old son Josey and wants the court to deny spousal support for both parties.

The former Glee star has enlisted the services of power lawyer Laura Wasser, whose client list has included stars Ryan Reynolds, Heidi Klum, Ashton Kutcher and Christina Aguilera.
TMZ also reports that Naya has listed the date of their separation as November 24, the day before the alleged assault.
The Devious Maids actress previously filed for divorce in November 2016 but the couple appeared to have reconciled when they called off the separation in October this year.
Naya was arrested in West Virginia on November 25 after Ryan called police and alleged Naya hit him over the head during an argument over their son.

In a 911 call obtained by TMZ last week, Ryan sounds frightened as he tells authorities: 'There's a domestic dispute. I just need a police officer. My wife's out of control. She's getting physical.'
The actor was out of breath on the call and came off as frantic before telling police Naya had been drinking and they were fighting over their son, Josey, when she hit him twice causing his lip to tear.
The Sorry singer’s bail was set for $1,000 and she was picked up from the courthouse later that evening by her father-in-law.
The Pitch actor broke his silence about the incident last week on Twitter.

He told his followers his family's affairs were 'not some reality show' and that they deserve 'kindness, respect, without judgment.'
His full statement read: 'This is a difficult time for everyone in the family especially for Naya and I.
'This isn’t some reality show, this is our life, and I ask that everyone especially "the media" please respect our privacy and treat us/this situation how you would want a loved one to be treated.
'Perhaps with kindness, respect, without judgement, and as negative a situation like this is, with positivity and love. Thanks.'
The duo married in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, on July 19, 2014 three months after Naya ended her engagement to Big Sean.
