The 65-year-old model and actress filed a
petition in Superior Court of California, citing "irreconcilable
differences" as legal grounds for divorce.
In her petition, she also sought unspecified spousal support
from 91-year-old media mogul Murdoch and wants him to pay for
her attorney's fees.
She said in the petition she is "unaware of the full nature and
extent of all (Murdoch's) assets and debts, and will amend this
petition when the information has been ascertained."
Hall's attorney, Ronald Brot, did not immediately respond to
Reuters request for a comment.
Murdoch and Hall married in a low-key ceremony in central
London's Spencer House in March 2016. It was Murdoch's fourth
marriage and Hall's second.
The Fox Corp chairman controls News Corp and Fox Corp through a
Reno, Nevada-based family trust that holds roughly a 40% stake
in voting shares of each company.
