The Bronx-born recording artist is also seeking child support, although TMZ states the exact amount is still unclear. News of the split was first reported by Hollywood Unlocked.
A contested divorce usually stipulates that both parties involved have not come to an agreement regarding an equal division of assets, which then requires judicial oversight.
The documents state 'there are no prospects for a reconciliation.'
With the incredible success of her debut studio album, Invasion of Privacy, Cardi's assumed net worth is around $24million, according to Celebrity Net Worth, while her estranged husband is listed at $26million.
Despite what appeared to be an amorous relationship on social media, his last appearance on her Instagram page was from Aug. 20 when she shared a clip from his new video, Need It.

Cardi, who's real name is Belcalis Marlenis Almanzar, previously accused Offset of infidelity in 2018 just months after they secretly wed.
The rapper was allegedly involved in a sex tape scandal with another woman in 2017, which she addressed on Twitter.
'No, it's not right for a n**** to cheat…But what you want me to do? Cardi wrote. Go f*** me another n****? Start all over again and get cheated on again? This s*** happens to everyone and I be too, you too…People handle they relationship different soo.'

'I know I look good, I know I'm rich, I know I'm talented,' she during an interview with Cosmopolitan. 'I know I could get any man I want — any basketball player, football player. But I want to work out my s— with my man, and I don't got to explain why.
'I'm not your property. This is my life … I'm going to take my time, and I'm going to decide on my decision. It's not right, what he f***ing did — but people don't know what I did, 'cause I ain't no angel.'
