Stephen Belafonte has responded to Mel B’s divorce
petition by filing documents asking for spousal support from Mel B. The
movie producer who has been accused of domestic violence by his wife
asked in the documents that Mel B pays him $30K a month.
In
addition to that, he also asked in the court papers he filed that his
estranged wife should be made to pay his lawyer’s fees. He is also
asking that he be given the family’s mansion. He reportedly filed the
official response to her divorce petition yesterday.

The
former couple are also having a dispute about their separation date.
Stephen is claiming it was on March 1, 2017, while Mel claims it was
December 28, 2016. This discrepancy in the dates could make things
difficult while trying to divide up their property.

Mel began divorce
proceedings in March, just 11 weeks to their 10th anniversary and this
move could save her a whole lot of money. Had she stayed married to
Stephen for up to 10 years before seeking divorce, she would have been
forced under the California law to support Stephen indefinitely, but now
it’s likely the duration of support will be at half the marriage’s
length.

Though the former couple disagree
on a number of things, they both are on the same page as regards the
custody of their daughter. Both Mel B and Stephen want joint legal and
physical custody of their 5year-old daughter Madison.
