CSI:Miami’s

She says Cibrian controls her credit card and pays only her household bills. Glanville claims that Cibrian cut off her access to cash for things like food and gas by lowering her card’s credit limit and prohibiting cash advances on it. The former couple has two young sons.

Glanville, a former model but current stay-at-home mom, requests at least $39,963 in monthly support from Cibrian. She says she needs $11,942 to cover her mortgage, $4,000 a month for food and eating out, $3,000 for clothes, $1,500 for child care, $750 for Pilates and another $750 for massages and facials, among other needs.

Cibrian purportedly grosses $60,000 per week from CSI: Miami.

Cibrian’s attorney, Neal Raymond Hersh, told media outlets: “Nothing could be further from the truth. Eddie’s responsibility as a father is his highest priority. He has been and will continue to be responsible to the children as well as Brandi. The parties are very working together to resolve the issues of custody and money.”

Cibrian will ultimately be required to pay child support for the couple’s sons until they reach 18. It is highly probable that Cibrian will also be required to pay spousal support to Glanville for some period of time. The amount of that spousal support (which is sometimes referred to as alimony or maintenance) will be determined by a judge (unless the parties come to a settlement agreement) based upon certain factors.

The California family law court will consider the standard of living established during the marriage; the marketable skills of Glanville; the extent to which Glanville’s earning capacity has been impaired by staying at home with the children; and the extent to which Glanville contributed to Cibrian’s ability to establish his career over the course of their eight-year marriage.

Additionally, the court will consider: the assets and debts of each party; the duration of the marriage; Glanville’s ability to be employed without disrupting the lives of the children; and other relevant factors.

A hearing on Glanville’s request is set for Nov. 23.

Kardashian and Odom began negotiating a prenuptial agreement just last Friday, two days before their ceremony. In order for a prenup to be valid and enforceable, a court will generally require that the parties have had a reasonable period of time to consider the agreement before signing. So, it looks like Sunday’s wedding was for show (Literally. It was filmed and paid for by the Keeping Up with the Kardashians reality television crew.) Kardashian and Odom’s timing was the result of the TV show and the upcoming NBA season.

Purportedly, as soon as the couple has reached an agreement, they will marry legally. That won’t happen until Odom’s attorney Neal Hersh and Kardashian’s attorney Lisa Helfend Meyer hammer out an agreement.

Hersh knows his way around celebrity family law, having represented Kim Basinger, Brad Pitt, Pamela Anderson and Halle Berry in their divorces. Meyer previously represented Donna D’Errico in her custody fights with ex-husband Motley Crue’s Nikki Sixx and billionaire Kirk Kerkorian’s third wife, Lisa Bonder Kerkorian.

At the time, all parties involved denied any extramarital affair and both couples seemed to go out of their way to put on a happy face for the media. Then, Rimes and her husband of seven years, Dean Sheremet, put their Nashville mansion on the market in May. Even after that news, Rimes still denied that a divorce was in the works.

Finally, in July, Cibrian and Glanville announced their separation. Glanville took immediately to the media, accusing Rimes of stalking Cibrian. Sources then told the tabloids that Rimes and Sheremet had, in fact, been separated for “quite some time”. Just last week, Rimes and Cibrian appeared together in public on a golf outing – apparently now confirming their relationship.

Both marriages occurred after the famous spouse achieved some degree of fame but it is unknown whether there are prenuptial agreements in place. In modern day America, it is unlikely that either Cibrian or Glanville will be “punished” financially in family court for their indiscretions.  While “no-fault divorce” officially refers to the legal grounds for divorce, most family courts look to divide marital property equally or close to equally, even where there has been adultery by one party.

Glanville and Cibrian have two sons: Mason, 6, and Jake, 2. Rimes and Sheremet have no children.

UPDATE:  Cibrian is represented in the divorce by noted L.A. family law attorney Neal Hersh. Hersh previously represented Kim Basinger and Brad Pitt in their divorces.

The couple married in 1992. Whitford had several small acting roles under his belt by then but his profile didn’t rise substantially until seven years later when he was cast in the hit TV show The West Wing. Kaczmarek appeared as a guest star in many shows and had a role in a short-lived series just prior to the marriage. She achieved fame though in 2000 as the mother in Malcolm in the Middle.

Kaczmarek and Whitford have three children, Frances (11), George (9) and Mary (6). I haven’t seen Whitford’s original filing but Kaczmarek has asked the court to order joint legal custody but award her physical custody of the kids with visitation for Whitford. Some of the gossip sites have made a big deal about this request today. It doesn’t seem that scandalous to me.

If Kaczmarek sought sole legal custody – trying to shut Whitford out of any decision-making authority over the children – THAT would be a big surprise and a very aggressive move. But a request by one parent for physical custody and visitation to the other is fairly typical. I anticipate that these two will ultimately work out a parenting schedule that will work for them and their three children.

Kaczmarek’s filing does not suggest that there was a prenuptial agreement so there may be substantial property division issues to be resolved. Alimony seems to be out of the picture. Kaczmarek did not request any in her paperwork and asked the court to terminate Whitford’s right to seek alimony from her. Although I haven’t reviewed Whitford’s filing, I haven’t read any reports which suggest that he asked for any alimony either.

Whitford is represented by L.A.-based family law attorney Neal Hersh. Hersh has previously represented Kim Basinger, Halle Berry, Brad Pitt and Pamela Anderson among others. Kaczmarek’s attorney is Dan Jaffe, who has previously represented Kimora Lee Simmons, Anne Heche and media mogul Rupert Murdoch’s first wife Anna Murdoch.
