Tori Spelling’s Husband Dean McDermott Demands Spousal Support

Actress Tori Spelling’s estranged husband, Dean McDermott, has filed his response to her divorce petition and is making some major demands, too.

According to court documents obtained by The Blast, McDermott is requesting spousal support from the actress and is also asking the court to grant him joint custody of their children.

His demands contrast with Spelling’s, who, in her petition, requested physical custody of their kids and spousal support from McDermott.

According to the legal documents, McDermott claims that the couple separated on July 7, 2023. This contrasts with Spelling’s claim in her petition that they separated on June 17, 2023.

Similar to Spelling, McDermott is seeking spousal support from his estranged wife. The actor wants the court to grant him joint custody of their five kids and for the actress to cover the cost of his attorney fees.

Last month, Spelling initiated divorce proceedings against McDermott following a 10-month separation and an 18-year marriage.

Per the legal documents obtained by The Blast, the “Scary Movie” star cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the divorce.

The couple shares five young children: Liam, 16, Stella, 15, Hattie, 11, Finn, 10, and Beau, 6. Spelling requested sole physical custody but is open to joint legal custody and visitation rights for McDermott.

In the divorce documents, Spelling requested spousal support but sought to bar McDermott from requesting it from her. However, the “Chopped Canada” host still made the request in his petition.

Asset division and property settlement are pending, with no mention of a prenuptial agreement.
