The husband of runaway mom, Bonnie Sweeten, who once claimed the couple could "get through anything," has filed for divorce.

In May, Sweeten called 9-1-1 claiming to be in the trunk of a car with her nine-year-old daughter, Julie, but as inconsistencies mounted, police discovered that Sweeten had, in fact, faked the abduction.

And although husband Richard "Larry" Sweeten has stood by his wife since she and Julie were discovered in Orlando, it seems that enough is enough. He filed for divorce from Bonnie on Wednesday, according to the Philadelphia Daily News.

Bonnie didn't see it coming (really?!).

"Never in a million years did she expect him to file for a divorce, let alone to file for divorce and not tell her," Bonnie's attorney Louis R. Busico told the Daily News.

But the woman's bad news doesn't stop there. Larry has also filed for full custody of the couple's 11-month-old daughter, Faith.
