The couple - who married in May 2008 - announced their plans to divorce earlier this month.
A source has since told PopEater that while the stars were reconsidering the split, Ashlee's father Joe has discouraged her from giving the relationship another try.
"Just like when Jessica split from Nick [Lachey], Joe is doing nothing to encourage Ashlee to give the marriage another try, if only for the sake of her son," the insider explained.
"Joe likes being the only man in his daughters' lives and is happy that Ashlee has moved back into his home, just like Jessica did after she announced she was leaving Nick."
Another source added: "Joe got rid of Nick, and now he is saying goodbye to Pete.
"Let's hope Ashlee finds more happiness than Jessica did when she finds herself officially single again."
