We’ve all received dud anniversary gifts — lacy underwear three sizes too small, household appliances — but David Arquette has taken things to a new level, serving Courteney Cox with divorce papers on their 13th wedding anniversary.

David filed for divorce in Los Angeles yesterday, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split.

He is seeking joint custody of the couple’s daughter Coco, eight, but will not apply for spousal or child support from Courteney, RadarOnline.com reports.

While the timing of the paperwork might come as a surprise to Courteney, the divorce itself will not.

The couple have been separated since October 2010, and have both dated other people in the two years since.

Courteney and David met on the set of horror movie Scream in 1995 and married in a lavish ceremony in 1999, welcoming daughter Coco in 2004.

It is not known if the couple had a prenuptial agreement.
