The wife of US actor Bill Murray has filed for divorce, accusing him of drug abuse, violence and abandonment, court documents in South Carolina show.

Jennifer Butler and Murray were married for 10 years and had four children, but they separated more than a year ago, her petition filed in Charleston county this week showed.

In 2006 Butler moved with her children to Sullivan's Islands, South Carolina, "due to defendant's adultery, addiction to marijuana and alcohol, abusive behavior, physical abuse, sexual addictions, and frequent abandonment," the petition said.

"The latest altercation occured in November 2007 at Sullivan's Island when the defendant hit her in the face and then told her she was 'lucky he didn't kill her," it added.

Butler charged that Murray's "violent, abusive and erratic behavior toward plaintiff destroyed the marital relationship between the parties and plaintiff no longer feels safe being in the presence of defendant."

Murray, 57, a Hollywood star of films such as Ghostbusters and Groundhog Day, was nominated for an Oscar for his role in Lost in Translation.

He also has two sons with his first wife, Margaret Kelly, from whom he divorced in 1994.
