Amy Schumer's Divorce From Chris Fischer Is Finally Almost Official
Nine months after filing, the comedian and her chef husband have a signed judgment ending their seven-year marriage — now just waiting on the paperwork.
Amy Schumer's divorce from chef Chris Fischer has cleared one of its final hurdles, with a New York court signing off on the couple's proposed divorce judgment — though the split isn't quite legally final until a county clerk finishes processing the paperwork.
According to court records, Schumer and Fischer submitted their proposed judgment to the New York Supreme Court on September 24, and the court signed it shortly after. The filing is now awaiting final processing by the New York County Clerk's office, the last administrative step before the divorce is officially entered. Alongside the divorce judgment, the court also issued orders addressing support arrangements for the couple's seven-year-old son, Gene. Specific terms of the settlement, including any financial arrangements, have not been disclosed.
An Amicable Ending
Schumer filed for divorce in New York County in January, seeking to end a marriage that began in 2018. The filing described the split as uncontested, and both the comedian and Fischer, a chef and author, characterized the decision as mutual when news of the breakup first surfaced in December. Neither has publicly discussed detailed reasons for the split, and both have largely kept their post-filing comments focused on co-parenting Gene.
SIGNED BY THE COURT — JUST WAITING ON THE CLERK
The nine-month gap between filing and a signed judgment is not unusual for even an uncontested divorce involving a minor child, where courts typically require formal arrangements for custody and support before finalizing the split. Family law attorneys note that the clerk's processing step, while largely administrative, can still take additional weeks depending on court backlogs.
Schumer, known for her stand-up specials and the sketch series "Inside Amy Schumer," has continued working throughout the proceedings, while Fischer has kept a lower public profile. Neither has commented publicly on the signed judgment. Once the County Clerk completes processing, the divorce will be legally final, closing the book on a marriage that began with a wedding on Martha's Vineyard in 2018.
