Getty Cameron Mathison and estranged wife Vanessa are making their split legal. Nearly two years after calling it quits, the former couple jointly filed for legal separation earlier this week. According to the court filing obtained by TMZ, the 56-year-old General Hospital actor and Vanessa are seeking a legal separation rather than a divorce for now. The pair made it clear that they are handling things together, filing the petition jointly and indicating they either already agree - or plan to agree - on issues like property division, support and attorneys' fees.
