Britney Spears and Sam Asghari's divorce proceedings are nearing an end eight months after Asghari filed to divorce the singer.
According to documents filed in Los Angeles Superior Court Wednesday and obtained by USA TODAY Thursday, both parties agreed to an uncontested divorce and waived their right to a trial and an appeal of the case.
Spears' legal team also filed a response to Asghari's petition to dissolve their marriage, which agreed with the actor's request last year for a divorce due to irreconcilable differences. While Asghari's filing requested the court agree to spousal support for himself and terminate its ability to award support to Spears, the popstar pursued a route of no spousal support for either party.
Spears also said property and assets should be divided per their premarital agreement, with Spears holding on to her earnings before, during and after their marriage. Their spousal support should be ordered by the court as detailed in the former couple's written agreement, one of Wednesday's filings states.
USA TODAY has reached out to Spears and Asghari's attorneys for comment.

What Britney Spears and ex Sam Asghari have said about their divorce
Asghari, 30, filed a petition to dissolve his 14-month-old marriage to the 42-year-old pop superstar in Los Angeles County Superior Court last August. The couple, who'd met when they worked together on Spears' 2016 "Slumber Party" music video, had tied the knot in June 2022.
In March, Asghari opened up about the divorce in an interview with People, telling the outlet it "was a blessing" to have shared his life with her "for a long time." "People grow apart and people move on," he added.
Asghari, an actor, told People he "never understood" when couples "talk badly about each other" after parting ways, so he doesn't plan to do so with Spears.
"That's something I'm never going to do because I had nothing but an amazing experience and a great life, and that's always going to be part of my life, a chapter of my life," he said.
For her part, Spears said at the time of their split that she was surprised by the end of her third marriage. She was previously married to Kevin Federline, with whom she shares two sons, Sean and Jayden, from 2004 to 2007 and to Jason Alexander, a childhood friend she married in Las Vegas, for 55 hours.
"As everyone knows, Hesam and I are no longer together," Spears wrote alongside an Aug. 18 video of herself dancing in a black crop top and neon green bikini bottoms. "Six years is a long time to be with someone, so I’m a little shocked but … I’m not here to explain why because it's honestly nobody’s business !!!"

Paramedics were reportedly sent to Britney Spears' hotel
Hours after these filings were submitted to the court, according to photos published by TMZ and Entertainment Tonight, Spears was photographed leaving the West Hollywood celebrity hotspot hotel Chateau Marmont in the early hours of Thursday morning while wrapped in a blanket and holding a pillow.
According to the outlets, paramedics were called for Spears during her stay at the hotel. She seemingly addressed the incident in an Instagram post Thursday, in which she wrote, "Just to let people know ... the news is fake!!!"
The message continued, "I would like respect at this time for people to understand I am getting stronger everyday!!!" Later in the statement, Spears shared, "I also twisted my ankle last night and paramedics showed up at my door illegally. They never came in my room but I felt (completely) harassed. I'm moving to Boston!!! Peace."
Los Angeles Fire Department spokesperson Brian Humphrey confirmed to USA TODAY that someone called for paramedics to be sent to provide aid to an "injured adult female," without offering specifics on the injury, at Chateau Marmont at 12:42 a.m. Thursday. One ambulance arrived, and details about whether paramedics made contact with the unnamed woman were not available, Humphrey said.
Paramedics left at 1:17 a.m., and there was no hospital transport.
