LOS ANGELES - Stop the marriage clock: Kiefer Sutherland is officially divorced.

A divorce judgment was filed Friday for the “24” actor and wife Elizabeth Kelly Winn, according to court documents. Sutherland, 41, filed for divorce from his wife of nearly eight years in 2004, citing irreconcilable differences. The couple have no children together.

Last January, Sutherland was released from a Glendale jail after serving 48 days on a drunken driving charge. Sutherland pleaded no contest in October to driving with a blood-alcohol level above the legal limit of 0.08 percent. He was sentenced to 30 days, as well as 18 days for violating probation stemming from a 2004 drunken-driving arrest.
