CEBU, Philippines - Brian Austin Green is asking Megan Fox to pay up. The “Beverly Hills 90210” alum filed documents on Tuesday seeking spousal support from his estranged wife, TMZ reports. Green is also seeking joint custody of their two kids, Noah, 3, and Bodhi, 18 months.
Green’s filing comes more than a month after Fox filed for divorce from her husband of five years. According to TMZ, Green, 42, is seeking spousal support due to his inability to work as much as Fox as he suffers from vertigo.
Us Weekly exclusively revealed the couple had called it quits on their marriage this past August after more than 10 years together. On August 21, Fox, 29, filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences and listing their separation date as June 15.
In court documents, Green follows Fox’s lead and cites irreconcilable differences as the reason for the divorce. In fact, the actor’s response mimics Fox’s divorce filing in almost every category including the desire for joint custody of their two children.
There is a notable difference, however: Green has requested spousal support, while Fox had left that section of her petition blank. (More often than not, the petitioner checks off the box to “terminate the court’s ability to award support” to his or her ex, so that was a surprise too.)
