She is requesting joint legal custody of their five minor children but wants sole physical custody with visitation for McDermott, 57, to be determined at a later date. She also wants him to pay spousal support.

Spelling’s divorce petition has no mention of a prenuptial agreement and states her separate assets have yet to be determined. They also have not determined their “community property.”

TMZ was the first to break the news of the pair’s divorce.

The “https://cdn.thefoxposts.com/vimedia/2024/03/30/100bd0e81dd8d5d90a639e046c59ee20.webp210MG” podcast host’s filing comes just three days after she was spotted sobbing in her car following a tense conversation with McDermott at a storage facility. At one point during the heated exchange, Spelling stood by herself and held out her hands to the side in an exasperated manner while appearing to shout at her estranged husband.

Appearing to be fed up with the chat, the “Due South” alum walked away to lean on a chainlink fence to catch his breath.

He later admitted in an interview that he had shared that Instagram post in the midst of a bender.

“That’s what it led to and that’s what led to the brokenness and to what happened between me and Tori,” he told the Daily Mail. “I couldn’t do it anymore. I couldn’t live that life anymore. I was tired of the anger and the yelling.”

McDermott spent more than a month seeking treatment for his alcohol abuse and pill addiction.
