Under the spotlight: Eva first met Tony at a San Antonio Spurs game in 2006Longoria's full name in the papers is listed as Eva Jaqueline Longoria Parker.
William Anthony Parker II is named as the respondent in the case.
Eva is being represented in the divorce by high profile celebrity divorce lawyer Lance Spiegel, who has previously worked for Sandra Bullock in her divorce from Jesse James and Russell Simmons in his divorce from Kimora Lee.
There is a prenuptial agreement between Parker and Longoria, according to U.S. reports.
Eva and Tony were engaged in November 2006 and married in July of 2007 in a Roman Catholic ceremony in Paris, France.
They first met after a San Antonio Spurs basketball game, when she and her father Enrique were invited back to the team’s press room to meet the players.
Eva and Tony immediately hit it off, and he asked Eva and her father to join him for dinner.
And according to the actress, he had no idea that she was famous.
Eva says, 'He was the last person on earth who hadn’t seen Desperate Housewives! We have the 20th Anniversary DVD. We watched all six in a row.'
And Tony was clearly smitten by the pint-sized brunette.
He said: 'I really thought she was very beautiful inside and had a good heart. She’s very family oriented, and me.. I love my family and my friends. She’s the same way.'
Their wedding took place at the Saint-Germain l'Auxerrois Church in Paris, across from the Louvre.
And it was a lavish event even by Hollywood standards.
Desperate Housewives producer Marc Cherry was a guest at the wedding, along with Eva's co-stars Teri Hatcher, Nicolette Sheridan and Felicity Huffman.
And he was overwhelmed with the opulence on display.
Cherry said: 'It was the kind of thing where you were kind of like, "I didn't know I knew people this rich".

And he believed that the couple were truly in love.
Cherry said: 'There were all kinds of fans outside, paparazzi and you really felt like you were part of an event. I was just going to the wedding of a friend and suddenly realised, "This will be the only time I ever go to a wedding like this in my life" and it was really a lot of fun.
'The thing that made it really special for me was that after all the glamour and the glitz and stuff, when it came to the wedding toast, they were just like any other couple in love, they were both adorable.'
Eva and French-born Tony enjoyed an extended European break over the summer, taking in places including Venice and Croatia.
In the past Eva has spoken of her plans to quit the U.S. once her show Desperate Housewives comes to an end and move to Parker's French homeland.
She was quoted as saying in an interview earlier this year: 'I feel at home when I go there. So for me to actually be there is always a joy.'
Longoria was previously married to American soap star Tyler Christopher from 2002 until 2004.
