Arnold Schwarzenegger Responds To Divorce - Asks Not To Pay Support To Maria Shriver
Posted on Jul 21, 2011 @ 02:00PM
In his newly-filed response to Maria Shriver's divorce papers, Arnold Schwarzenegger asks the court for joint legal and physical custody of the couple's underage children, Patrick, 17, and Christopher, 13.
He has also asked not to have to foot the bill for Maria's spousal support or attorney fees, which she requested, and that they should each pay their own legal bills.
DOCUMENTS: Arnold Responds To Maria's Divorce Filing
The papers were submitted by Schwarzenegger's attorney, Bob Kaufman.
Under California law the couple will likely split their fortune 50/50 because there was no pre-nuptial agreement in place.

They are estimated to be worth $400 million but Arnold has asked the court for his miscellaneous personal effects, earnings and accumulations from and after the date of separation to be held as separate property.
In the court papers filed yesterday, it states that Arnold does not currently know the nature and extent of the separate property assets and obligations of the parties but will seek leave to amend the response when it has been ascertained.

Don't forget, it was RadarOnline.com and Star magazine's joint investigation that revealed Mildred Baena as the mother of the teen son the Kindergarten Cop star fathered out-of-wedlock.
At one point, Baena and Shriver were pregnant at the same time with the former California governor's babies.

Baena worked for the A-list duo, whose marriage lasted 25 years, at their mansion in the posh Los Angeles neighborhood of Brentwood for 20 years.
Maria has moved out of the formal marital home, where Arnold still resides, and is currently renovating a $10 million mansion nearby so the children do not have to travel far in between each parent.
Arnold is getting back to work to pay for the pricey divorce and is set to star in Western thriller Last Stand - his first major movie role since 2003.

Oh he's gonna pay as well he should. Never mind he cheated on Maria, never mind he father a child with someone else...the woman he cheated with was hideous! I mean seriously...for that alone Maria should wipe the floor with him.

She doesn't need spousal support. Is $200 Million not enough money for her? She's starting to look like Michael Douglas's greedy ex-wife.

She gave up her career so you could be Governor, you cheated on her, had a child w/another woman and you don't want to pay spousal support. Too bad you creep. Pay her like you should or Maria can call the media on you jerk.

they split the assets. he should pay his half of supporting the minor children. they're very capable of supporting themselves. no spousal support.

I hope she is persistent and continues with the spousal support and atty fees. He's the one who couldn't keep his privates in his pants. Why should she have to pay out for his commiting adultery. Go Maria Go!!!!

Estimated to be worth $400 million yet won't pay Maria's legal costs for a divorce she wouldn't be requesting but for his inability to stay faithful during their marriage. Such class!
