Lachey Seeks Support, Jewelry From Simpson

LOS ANGELES (AP) - In divorce papers, Nick Lachey is seeking spousal support from Jessica Simpson, and he wants his jewelry back.

In court papers filed Friday in response to Simpson's Dec. 16 divorce filing, Lachey cited irreconcilable differences for the dissolution of the three-year marriage.

Lachey, 32, also asked for "miscellaneous jewelry and other personal effects," part of Simpson's earnings from after the date of separation and other assets.
Lachey said he and Simpson separated Dec. 13, although she claims it was Nov. 23.

The couple, who starred in their own MTV reality show, "Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica," had no prenuptial agreement and in her petition, Simpson asked the court not to grant Lachey spousal support.

Lachey, who gained fame as a member of the boy band 98 Degrees, had more earning power when the couple wed in October 2002. However, Simpson's fame skyrocketed during the marriage.

The 25-year-old singer-actress reportedly earned more than $30 million last year, including earnings from her big-screen debut playing Daisy Duke in "The Dukes of Hazzard" movie.

Last month, the Mediterranean-style house the pair shared during "Newlyweds" was sold to "Malcolm in the Middle" teen actor Justin Berfield for an undisclosed price.

I know she is rich and all, but it doesn't look good to have a man ask for "Spousal Support."

Superstar · 02-18-2006, 12:44 PM

Its weird that he wants spousal support, its not like he's broke or anything.

TJL · 02-18-2006, 12:51 PM

Good for you Nick.

Why shouldn't he get some of her money?

I agree it doesn't look good

I wonder if he plans on selling the jewelry or giving it to another woman.

In California, it's normal for the respondent (Nick) to "ask" for certain things in divorce papers. It's not that he may really want those things, but it's procedure to ask for the "maximum" in any divorce papers. It is the judge who has the final say so. For example, if a spouse asks for a monthly support of $1000, that may be the maximum they are entitled to "ask" for, doesn't mean they are going to get it. A judge will review assets, length of marriage, and many other determining factors. I had a client once who asked for $2000 monthly support although she knew she may only get $1000, but it is always best to ask for more. If she had asked for $1000, then the judge more than likely have given her $500.

I bet she kicking herself for not signing that pre-nup

SBTB Geek · 02-19-2006, 02:03 PM

^I guess she underestimated herself. At the time they got married Nick Lachey was the one raking in the dough.

Not exactly a surprise, as Jessica reportedly earned more than $30 million last year alone, whereas Nick barely earned a million...
