The countdown is on for the official end to Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman's long-disintegrating union.

Lawyers for the A-list twosome, who have been uncoupled for nearly two years, appeared in a New York courtroom Wednesday and told Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Saralee Evans that Hawke and Thurman were close to amicably finalizing their divorce.
