Armstrong, 32, requested spousal support from Geffen, 82, as well as attorney's fees and costs and "all other relief the Court deems just and proper," according to documents filed on Tuesday, May 27 and obtained by PEOPLE. Geffen — who is worth $8.7 billion, according toForbes— filed for divorce on May 16, citing irreconcilable differences. He listed the couple's date of separation as Feb. 22, though Armstrong said their split date was "TBD" in his response. They were married on March 7, 2023. Geffen's initial filing indicated that he would pay Armstrong's spousal support and attorney's fees. Both filings stated that "the exact nature and extent of separate property assets and obligations are unknown at this time," and both parties reserve their right to amend their filings once the information has been ascertained.

Each party has 60 days after filing to complete the court order. Geffen, who is now retired, rose to fame as the co-founder and founder of a number of record labels, including Asylum Records, Geffen Records and DGC Records. In 1996, he also co-foundedDreamWorks AnimationwithSteven Spielbergand Jeffrey Katzenberg. Much of his income consists of stocks and equities in property, and California law states that dividends from stocks remain separate, meaning Armstrong likely will not walk away with much cash,TMZreported. State law also requires divorce petitioners to pay spousal support for half the length of the marriage, meaning Armstrong will likely receive payments for one year. Geffen datedCherfor a year and a half in the early 1970s, and came out as gay in 1992. He and Armstrong largely kept their relationship out of the public eye, though the media mogul did share a now-deleted photo of the pair on a boat in December 2021. "Merry Christmas indeed!" he captioned the Instagram photo. Read the original article onPeople
