‘Kurt is not ‘just waiting'[ing] for Shannen to die. “He wants the best for Shannen and he wants them both to be able to put this thing behind them and move on,” she said.
In response, Doherty said she denied the proposed settlements because they “centered around the issues of his original works created during the marriage” and “his earning capacity.”
In a June 14 filing, the actress requested $15,343 in monthly support “retroactive to June 1, 2024.”
She has also asked Kurt to contribute $9,100 towards her legal fees.
Doherty said: ‘As a result of my recurring health problems, I have been largely unable to work and have no future prospects in the job market. Nowadays, virtually all the income I earn comes from work I did before marriage.”
Per nation, Iswarienko’s average annual income over the past three years was $672,916, leaving “at least” $56,076 per month in disposable spousal support.
Doherty’s annual average was $259,708, including her work in 2021 and 2022, when she had health insurance.
Shannen says she’s made just over $25,000 so far this year, which represents a significant drop.

She has also collected nearly $160,000 in legal fees and has asked Iswarienko to pay $130,000 toward future fees.
She said in her filing last week: “Most of my residual income comes from a television show called Charmed.
“I recently learned that Charmed will no longer stream on any major streaming platform after June 30, 2024. As a result, my future residual income will drop dramatically.” It was also noted that the television star has not worked since 2022.
Shannen believes her ex, to whom she was married from 2011-2023, has the resources to contribute to her medical costs.
In 2023, the cost was $21,640 and she expects it to “increase dramatically” if she no longer receives SAG health insurance as a result of not working.
Doherty argued in court papers that Kurt has put his lifestyle above all else.
“While I was unable to work and incurring exorbitant medical expenses not covered by insurance to undergo experimental treatments in hopes of prolonging my life, Kurt has been flying and spending thousands of dollars at medical spas, jewelry stores, Gucci and the like.” . fleeing from his ‘agent’ while at the same time claiming he doesn’t have enough money to support me,” she said.
The artist has claimed that Iswarienko’s agent, Collier Grimm, is also his romantic partner.

“Although Kurt’s income is substantially greater than mine, he has not made any temporary spousal support payments and has not made any contributions to my attorneys’ or accounting fees and costs since the time our divorce case was filed,” Shannen stated.
It was also noted that Iswarienko did not provide the necessary documents to assess his earning capacity, assets and income.
She then submitted an application for an injunction.
The Hollywood veteran has asked Iswarienko an additional $11,800 for fees she says she paid “in efforts to obtain Kurt’s full answers.”
