Valerie Bertinelli’s estranged husband Tom Vitale has demanded the actress cough up monthly support in their bitter divorce.
According to court documents obtained by Radar, Tom’s attorney made the demand in court last week.
Bertinelli originally filed for legal separation from her estranged husband in November 2021 The two met in 2004 and walked down the aisle in 2011. They share no children together.
She cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split and asked for the court to terminate both parties' right to spousal support.
The Hollywood star also revealed they had been separated since December 2019.
Bertinelli claimed they signed a prenuptial agreement that covered all the financial matters, including the division of assets.
In May, Bertinelli amended her petition to now seek a divorce instead of a legal separation.
In his response, Vitale said he disagrees with the date of separation listed by Bertinelli. He said they split in November 2021 not December 2019.
