Nick Lachey asks for spousal support from Jessica Simpson

[Free4Life11]

She can strut in her boots all the way to the bank. That is unless Nick has something to say about it.

If I hear that stupid "bites are made for poppin' " commercial one more time...

I saw on tv on thursday night that he just bought himself a new LA home for 5.5 million from Seal & Heidi Klum!

If this is true, then what does he need support for? Someone who can afford a 5.5 million home doesn't need support from ANYONE!

I don't know about him intentionally putting his career on hold. He made a solo album, I think it sold less than 100,000 copies....and that was with his Newlyweds fame. He is a 30something year old trying to be a teeny bopper idol. It ain't gonna happen.

I remember having his half-naked posters of 98 Degrees when I was a teenager....*sigh....what were we talking about?

I actually think that the fact that he is asking for jewelry back, is much more tacky then spousal support

I don't think he was asking for jewelry back, as in her jewelry, I think he was talking about his own jewelry. since its an an asset, maybe it needs to be listed?

 

[Free4Life11]

About him putting his careeron hold....so what?? He's an adult and can make his own decisions. If he chose to do that, well that was just stupid on his part! If anything I think BOTH of them capitalized off their Newleyweds fame. While the show was on, they were always making appearances and whatnot.

stick it to her, nick.

They have taken Jessica Simpson entirely out of the "bites" Pizza Hut commercial here. Now, it just has the "Boots made for Walkin'" song, but no Jessica.

I am sorry I don't like Nick or Jessica!
Of course he is going to ask for support from Jessica!
She made more then him.
Not a fan here!
Just my 2 cents!

Nick Lachey was the bigger money maker when they were married. Since there is no pre-nup (at her and her fathers insistence) and California is a no fault, community property state he is entitled to half of all earnings during the marriage. Him asking for spousal support is a means of receiving a one time settlement.

Sometimes you have to file paperwork that you don't necessarily need or want. A never wed single mom who wants to petition for custody needs a paternity suit to be filed even though unnecessary. The courts just won't open cases unless there is certain paperwork filed.

Actually, my opinion would be exactly the same...she is more than capable of earning enough $$ to support herself, so why would she need spousal support from him?

To me, spousal support is for the person who has been married for many years, has been many years out of the workforce and has spent their marriage "behind the scenes" as the dutiful spouse, attending work related events, being supportive, running the household single-handedly so spouse could focus on career advancement. And notice that I am not "genderizing" this...I have known couples where the wife was the primary breadwinner and the husband stayed home and raised the family, cared for the house...basically a reversal of what society considers the "traditional" roles for men and women. Should any of these couples break up, I would think the husband should be entitled to spousal support, at least for a period of time long enough for him to re-establish himself in the workforce and earn a decent living.

Nick Lachey??? Sorry, he can earn more money than the average person could ever hope to, without taking an alimony check from his ex-wife.

I agree 100%..

It is hard to believe that she is the same girl who made such a big deal of being "pure" and saving herself for marriage. Seems like she couldn't handle being famous and married at the same time, and guess what was more important? Nick can do soo much better!

And I agree, that pizza commercial makes me want hurl!

Not here. I saw her just yesterday.

Why do so many people dislike her? She seems like a cute harmless ditz to me. I can't say the same for her family.

 

[RadioNate]

Frankly that's the law. HE was definately more famous then her when they married and SHE refused to sign the prenup that he asked her to sign so in my book she should pay. Maybe not full alimony but a 50/50 split of assets as California law dictates.

Bet they're regretting that one now!
How ironic..

 

[ely3857]

I thought the main reason for the divorce was that he resented her desire to be an actress and not settle down with kids, yet he seems perfectly willing to take the $$$ she makes from it

Actually I read over at www.people.com that Nick has filed paperwork that would enable him to request spousal support - but hasn't actually requested the support at this time.

 

[lucas]

She's not a good actress either.

She's not a good singer either.

I was going to post the same thing....and if the roles were reversed, she would be asking for the support too. I think he should get it.

Bet Daddy dearest is kicking himself in the butt big time over that one! At the time, Nick was worth much more, Daddy wanted to be sure Jessica could get it all if they seperated...funny how things got turned around. Actually it's pretty sad...they really seemed to be in love and it's a shame that they split up.

 

[SPAM]

thats stupid. i dont think either of them should get spousal support.

 

[Taylor]

There are many things I would request from Jessica Simpson. Money is way down on the list.
