Legal Separation Filed by Heidi Montag

Heidi Montag has filed for legal separation from Spencer on Tuesday, June 8.

The reality TV star  had her lawyer confirming that she wanted to have sometime alone, away from her hisband Spencer Pratt.

She was spotted  at the Santa Monica Courthouse to file the request, giving  irreconcilable differences as the reason for separation, TMZ reported.

But, Heidi did not file divorce papers. The site contained that the legal significance of legal separation means Heidi will have her earnings become her separate property beginning on the date of separation, which she listed as June 8. The "The Hills" star reportedly doesn't list a lawyer.

Meanwhile, Audrina Patridge is having trouble believing that the separation is real, she told People, "I think it's a joke. I don't believe it. They're inseparable and in love."

"I don't buy it," co-star Lo Bosworth added. "I've worked with them for too long, and they haven't been filming, so I think this is a way they think they can get back on the show for the last few episodes."
