Evert filed her complaint in a Fort Lauderdale, Florida court earlier this week (13NOV06) just weeks after announcing the couple had split, calling the decision "mutual."

In a statement, she writes, "Our main concern is for our three sons. We know we have some difficult times ahead, together and apart, and hope that our family's privacy will be respected."

Evert was formerly married to British tennis ace JOHN LLOYD. They divorced in 1987.
