Brian Austin Green Hits Back At Megan Fox’s Legal Split Filing With Demand For Spousal Support – Here’s Why [Photos]


Brian Austin Green wants money from his former honey Megan Fox. Brian delayed for more than four weeks prior to following up on Megan’s divorce request. Now Austin Green, 42, is seeking both joint custody (the couple has two little boys) and spousal support, reported People.

Megan’s legal separation filing and Brian’s request for joint custody of 3-year-old Noah Shannon and 18-month-old Bodhi Ransom, as well as spousal support, are detailed in court papers. Austin Green also has a teenage son, named Kassius, whose mother is Vanessa Marcil.

Married for five years, Brian and Megan had a 13-year age difference. But it wasn’t just age that resulted in their separation.

Austin Green had what Fox described as the traditional irreconcilable differences in her filing for legal separation. The 29-year-old actress also asked for joint custody.

But the romance between Brian and Megan got off to a rocky start. In 2006, they were engaged, then split in 2009. Returning to an engaged status in 2010, Austin Green and Fox tied the knot less than a month after announcing they were engaged.

And despite all the legal paperwork, Brian continues to sport his wedding ring, while Megan has turned her attention to acting, in particular appearing on New Girl when Zooey Deschanel takes her maternity leave. Look for Fox on the show in January during the sixth episode of the fifth season.

Megan has been mostly absent from social media until she surfaced in mid-September with an Instagram selfie.

As to why Brian is asking for spousal support, Fox and Austin Green were in a car accident last December. Although Megan was not hurt, he is suffering from vertigo that impacts his career, according to TMZ.

While Brian has had minimal work since the wreck, Fox has continued to succeed and bring in money. And despite those irreconcilable differences cited by Megan, they dwell in the same home and seek to parent their children as a couple.

The car accident occurred when a drunk driver collided head-on with Austin Green and his wife, reported the Daily Mail.

Brian subsequently revealed that the accident had resulted in vertigo. Considered a symptom not a medical condition, vertigo causes sufferers to feel that the world is spinning around them. As a result of the balance problems, Austin Green sometimes must remain in bed. His symptom means that the difference between how much Megan earns and how much Brian can bring in are dramatically different.

However, Austin Green recently was spotted going shopping, grinning as he put groceries in his car after he went to Beverly Hills’ Bristol Farms.

Fox has given some hints of how she’s coping with the marital problems on social media. And while Megan’s soon-to-be ex still wears his wedding ring, Fox has been seen minus the band.

Even when Megan and Brian were with their sons during a day designated for the family, Fox’s tank top had a slogan that appeared to sum up how she secretly felt toward him.

“I need more space,” read Megan’s tank top.

With two million followers on Instagram, Fox was missed during her long stay away. She uses the social media handle “The Native Tiger.” But finally, after a 23-week period away, Megan shared a picture and a telling caption.

“Hi. I’m still here, I just continue to have an angsty relationship with social media,” posted Fox. “But what better way to express my apprehension than with a selfie. This time in black n white!”

In addition, Megan seemed to indicate that she believes in the theory that your birth date determines your personality.

“Correct. #thesecretlanguageofbirthdays not astrology…it’s science(ish),” wrote Fox.
