Knoxville, whose birth name is Philip John Clapp, filed for divorce last July citing irreconcilable differences. The couple separated in July 2006.

Knoxville, 37, was seeking joint custody of the pair’s 12-year-old daughter. Custody arrangements and child support were not included in last week’s judgment.

Knoxville’s screen credits include “The Ringer,” “The Dukes of Hazzard” and the “Jackass” stunt movies.
