Tori Spelling And Dean McDermott Both Want Spousal Support Amid Divorce Battle
Spelling and McDermott were married for 18 years before they announced their separation last June, and this past March, Spelling officially filed for divorce, citing “irreconcilable differences.”
McDermott’s public defense of Spelling followed his response to her divorce filing, as he submitted his own legal document. According to court papers obtained by Page Six, the actor opposed Spelling’s request for sole custody of their children, seeking joint physical and legal custody instead.
McDermott also requested spousal support for himself while petitioning the court to terminate Spelling’s spousal support, aligning with her initial request. Both parties are also asking the other to cover their respective attorneys’ fees.
