Data about Jim Carrey and Melissa Womer from Divorce Records
Shortly after Womer gave birth to their first child Jane Carrey, she
filed for divorce in Los Angeles Superior Court. Irreconcilable
differences were the main grounds for the separation as Womer began a
barrage of scandalous and nasty public comments regarding her husband.
She said that Carrey was a shallow person who was mindful of everything
else except their marriage. She also said that deep down, Carrey was a
troubled individual who constantly battled depression. His only outlet
was his slapstick performances which helped exhaust feelings of
bitterness and sadness from a former depressed and poverty-stricken
life.
Carrey did refute the comments and said that Womer was basically only
after his money after he began hitting it big in Hollywood. The actor
reported that his wife began acting differently when he started earning
millions from the success of The Mask and Ace Ventura. She might have
discovered the opportunity to lay her hands on his assets spurring her
to settle for a hefty divorce settlement.
The battle continued to wage concerning the settlement as well as
custody over their daughter. In the end, Womer walked away with $3.5
million dollars which was half of Carrey's net worth at the time. The
couple was granted joint custody over their daughter according to
public divorce records.

Aftermath
Carrey and Womer never reconciled even after their divorce
was finalized in 1995. Their daughter would transfer between parents
during weekends and special occasions. Womer has been quiet after
receiving spousal and child support. Carrey on the other hand was
linked to a handful of celebrities and was married briefly to actress
Lauren Holly. At present, he is happily dating Jenny McCarthy but
marriage is still very far from the picture. The Carrey-Womer divorce
