The divorce between Jeremy Renner and his wife of less than one year, Sonni Pacheco, is heating up and it looks like this one is going to be more acrimonious than the climax on a Marvel movie. According to legal documents obtained by The Insider With Yahoo, Pacheco is requesting primary physical custody of the couple's 22-month-old daughter, Ava. Pacheco is agreeing to split legal custody of the child.
In the documents, a lawyer for Pacheco argues that Renner's home is unsafe for a child, specifically citing a pool and a 12-foot-deep koi pond which are both unfenced. Pacheco also claims that Renner had previously told her he keeps one gun in a bar area in his home and another in his bedroom. Pacheco is requesting the court order him to child-proof the home by fencing in the pools and locking his guns and ammunition in a safe when Ava is in the house.
"I have been the parent that cares for Ava on a daily basis," Pacheco says in the legal papers. "[Renner] rarely spent one-on-one time with Ava and when he did it's my recollection it was as a result of my insistence that he do so."

Elsewhere in the more than 50-page document, Pacheco requests child support from Renner. According to the filing, the two-time Oscar nominee who stars in the Avengers, Bourne, and Mission Impossible franchises made $3.45 million in 2014 and has $13 million in assets. Pacheco herself, a model originally from Canada, is currently unemployed with no income. She alleges that when she told Renner he'd have to pay child support, he told her to get a job. Pacheco also requests that Renner give back her passport, which is currently in his custody.
"I am seeking an order from the Court requiring [Renner] to return my social security card and birth certificate, which were maintained in the safe at [his] residence, and my passport and drivers license which were in my wallet," the papers say.

Renner and Pacheco dated briefly in 2013 and she became pregnant. Shortly after that, the two began living together and Pacheco gave birth to Ava in March 2013. They were married in secret on January 13, 2014. After less than a year of marriage, Pacheco filed for divorce in December, listing November 29, 2014, as the legal date of separation. In her initial filing, Pacheco argued their prenup should be voided due to "fraud."

A hearing to address the issues Pacheco has raised is scheduled for April 1.

A representative for Renner had not responded to a request for comment at the time of publication.
