Quick Facts on Shia LaBeouf, Mia Goth Divorce: Details on Primary Custody Request and Separation

Mia Goth has filed for divorce from Shia LaBeouf in Los Angeles and is asking the court for primary custody of their four-year-old daughter, Isabel.

The Mia Goth divorce has entered the legal process, with the actress filing to end her marriage to Shia LaBeouf in Los Angeles County on Tuesday, 6 October 2026. According to the filing, Goth cited 'irreconcilable differences' and is asking the court for primary custody of their four-year-old daughter, Isabel.

The filing lists 28 July 2025 as the couple's separation date. Goth is also asking that neither party be awarded spousal support.

The filing follows reports that the couple separated in 2025, with details of their split emerging publicly earlier this year.

Mia Goth Divorce Follows Reported Separation

The latest development follows a February report, which said a source had confirmed that Goth and LaBeouf had separated.

At the time, a source said that their relationship had been complicated, saying they 'weren't getting along' and had experienced 'a lot of drama' during the previous year.

The source also said Goth remained focused on her daughter and her career, adding, 'She loves him, but she also doesn't need him.'

Goth and LaBeouf have a daughter, Isabel, who was born in 2022. Goth is now asking the court for primary custody of the child.

The request does not mean custody has been decided. It remains a matter for the court as the divorce proceedings continue.

Mia Goth Seeks Primary Custody of Daughter

Custody is a central part of the Mia Goth divorce filing.

Goth is seeking primary legal and physical custody of Isabel while requesting visitation for LaBeouf. The petition does not mean the court has made a final custody ruling.

LaBeouf has previously spoken publicly about the breakdown of his relationship with Goth.

In an interview with Channel 5's Andrew Callaghan, LaBeouf said he felt he had failed Goth during their marriage.

'I failed my marriage, and so I had to own up to that,' he said.

LaBeouf also described the couple as 'deeply unhappy' and said he had made mistakes that violated Goth's trust.

Shia LaBeouf Called Mia Goth 'Incredible'

Despite describing the relationship as deeply unhappy, LaBeouf also spoke warmly about Goth during the interview.

He praised his estranged wife, saying, 'That's a good girl. That's one of the best girls that ever lived. She's incredible, that woman.'

LaBeouf said the couple had tried to repair their relationship but had ultimately become unhappy.

Following their separation, LaBeouf moved to New Orleans. He was arrested there in February 2026 following an altercation and later pleaded guilty to a simple battery charge.

He was sentenced to two years of probation and ordered to complete rehabilitation and anger-management requirements. Current reporting confirms he pleaded guilty to three counts of simple battery and received two years' probation, along with rehabilitation, sensitivity training and anger-management classes.

What Happens Next in the Mia Goth Divorce?

The next stage will depend partly on how LaBeouf responds to the petition and whether the couple can reach an agreement over custody.

Goth's request for primary custody remains a request to the court rather than a final custody ruling. The same applies to the other matters raised in the divorce petition.

The filing cites 'irreconcilable differences' as the reason for the divorce. The private circumstances surrounding the breakdown of the relationship remain based on previous statements and reports from sources.

For now, the divorce petition represents the latest formal development in the couple's reported separation.
