(CNN) -- The divorce of golfer Tiger Woods and wife Elin Nordegren was finalized Monday, according to a joint statement issued by their attorneys.
The marriage's end comes nine months after allegations surfaced that Woods carried on several extramarital affairs.
"We are sad that our marriage is over and we wish each other the very best for the future," the statement said. "While we are no longer married, we are the parents of two wonderful children and their happiness has been, and will always be, of paramount importance to both of us".
The judgment, issued Monday in Bay County, Florida, Circuit Court, allows for "shared parenting of their two children," their attorneys said in a statement.
The estranged couple asked for privacy as they "adjust to a new family situation".
In the dissolution of marriage petition filed Monday, Nordegren cites the marriage as "irretrievably broken" as the reason for divorce.
According to the document, the couple reached a settlement agreement July 3 in which they agreed to a joint parenting plan.
Both Woods and Nordegren agreed to waive the 20-day delay period offered in Florida before a final judgment. CNN
