DETROIT - Eminem's dysfunctional relationship with wife Kim has hit another low — he filed divorce papers Wednesday, less than three months after remarrying her.

The filing on behalf of Marshall Bruce Mathers III, Eminem's real name, was confirmed by two employees of the Macomb County clerk's office. They didn't provide their names, citing an office policy.

The Grammy- and Oscar-winning rapper and Mathers remarried on Jan. 14, a month after the couple announced they were getting back together.

Their first marriage ended after two-plus years in October 2001 in an ugly legal fight that included a custody battle over their daughter, Hailie.

Though the marital issues of most rappers wouldn't make headlines, Eminem has used his tormented relationship with Kim, his high school sweetheart, as a source of his most popular and demented rhymes. He's killed her off in song and assailed her with his lyrics — but that was before they got back together.

Eminem, 33, and Mathers, 30, reconciled in late 2004, and he announced in December 2005 that they would get back together.

The pair grew up in the suburbs along Eight Mile Road, Detroit's northern border

Kim Speaks Out About The Divorce!::::

Eminem Files For Divorce; Kim Responds On Mojo In The Morning

Marshall Mathers has filed for divorce from his wife Kim just 82 days after remarrying her. In December, Eminem used Mojo In The Morning to announce to the world that the high school sweethearts planned to have an encore wedding. The reconciliation included a private wedding at Rochester's Meadow Brook Hall. But on Wednesday morning, Marshall filed papers with the Macomb County Courthouse asking for a divorce and now Mojo In The Morning is in the center of the controversy yet again.

Kimberly Mathers called our show this morning to tell us that the divorce filing was a surprise to her: "I was hoping we could go to counseling and work things out but he sent an attorney to my house with papers and said that [Marshall] filed for divorce." Kim also alluded to Eminem's past drug addictions coming back to haunt him. She said that he moved out of their mansion six weeks ago and is now living in their Oakland County home. Kim confessed, "I see him doing a lot of the same things I did when I had my problem. I see exactly the same pattern that I was falling in. I was there so I've tried to reach out but unfortunately right now, if that's not what he wants then there's nothing anybody can do."

Kim shared details of her children, saying that she agrees that Marshall should have joint custody of their daughter Hailie Jade. The divorce filing mentioned no special arrangements for Laney (Marshall's neice) or Whitney (Kim's daughter from a previous relationship) who lived with the couple. Marshall had legally adopted Laney and rapped about her in his recent song "When I'm Gone." Kim said that Hailie learned about the divorce by listening to the radio station. When Mojo asked if it would be possible to get their family life to get back to normal, Kim replied "I hope it doesn't take losing everything, but right now we don't even speak. I haven't talked to him in over a month." Spike reminded Kim that Eminem is a frequent listener and she could use the airwaves to reach out to him. Kim said to Marshall: "I love you and I'm here for you. If you need anybody... I'm really sorry that things happened this way."

Sara asked Kim if the marriage might have worked this time if Marshall wasn't facing the drug abuse that she claims he is currently going through. She said, "I believe in my heart that it would have." Mojo ended the conversation by asking Kim if she would remarry Eminem years down the road if he was clean and sober. She replied, "I never wanted to be separated. It's not my choice, but it didn't work out that way, I got an attorney at the door instead."

Eminem's response sent via e-mail: The details surrounding both my marriage and subsequent filing for divorce are private and I had hoped to keep them that way for the sake of my family. However, a few of Kim's statements in the interview this morning need to be addressed. First, her allegations regarding my status post-rehab are both untrue and unfortunate. Second, she was aware that I was filing for divorce. We both tried to give our marriage another chance and quickly realized that a wedding doesn't fix the underlying problems.
