It hasn’t even been a month since Kaley Cuoco announced her split from Ryan Sweeting, her husband of only 21 months! They said it wouldn’t last… and they were right. Kaley announced her split on September 26th, a Friday. For a few days, everyone was like “Girl, we’re praying you got a good prenup!” And as it turns out, she did make Ryan sign a prenup just before they married on New Year’s Eve 2013. Initially, the reports about the prenup seemed to indicate that Kaley and Ryan would walk away with their own assets, the same as they had pre-marriage, which basically meant that Kaley would keep the house and everything else, because Ryan came into the marriage with next to nothing. But… now Ryan has filed his own divorce paperwork and K-Fed’s gotta K-Fed. He’s requesting that Kaley pay his lawyers’ fees, plus he’s asking for spousal support.
Ryan Sweeting has responded to Kaley Cuoco’s divorce filing. E! News obtained the court documents filed by the tennis player on Oct. 15 in Los Angeles Superior Court, and there were some notable points found in the legal document. Like Cuoco’s original filing on Sept 25, Ryan cites ever-so-popular “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split. However, Sweeting states Sept. 25 (the day of Kaley’s filing) as the date of separation, as opposed to Sept. 3, which was what Cuoco stated in her filing.
The documents also show that the actress’ ex is asking for spousal support and requesting to terminate the court’s ability to award support to Kaley. In her papers, Kaley stated spousal support was payable and terminable as set forth from the couple’s prenuptial agreement, which they signed on Nov. 20, 2013. Ryan is also asking Kaley to pay for his attorney’s fees, something The Big Bang Theory star listed would be paid by both parties, per their prenup.
Is there a divorce lawyer in the house? Because I think I know what this means, but I’d still like it explained in greater detail. I think they’re saying that Ryan and Kaley agreed to some loose spousal support terms in their prenup and it would be up to Ryan to request support if he so chooses. And he does choose. So, Kaley won’t be surprised that he’s asking for support, although she’s hoping the court determines that she won’t have to pay her K-Fed too much, and there would be a preapproved end-date for said support? Like, she’ll pay spousal support for three years max, something like that? That’s how I understand it. Anyway, this just goes to show you ladies: sometimes stupid decisions we make about love can end up costing us big time. Protect your assets, girls.
