Los Angeles Jan 19 (DPA-NT) - Lisa Marie Presley, the wife of controversial pop star Michael Jackson, filed for divorce Thursday, citing "irreconcilable differences", records showed. According to the three-page divorce petition at Los Angeles Superior Court, the couple separated last December 10, four days after his sudden collapse on a New York stage while rehearsing for a special concert. Neither Presley, 27, or Jackson, 37, were available for immediate comment Thursday. Presley, the daughter of rock-and-roll legend Elvis Presley, married Jackson in a secret wedding in the Dominican Republic in May 1994. The couple did not confirm the marriage until three months later. The combined fortune of the couple was estimated to total as much as 500 million dollars. dpa dm cm rt /AA1234/190108 Jan 96 nnnn
