He was absolutely awful to her for the duration of their relationship.
He needs to pay the fuck up.

Care to elaborate? (Yes, I will google)

Can you tell I'm bored?

Seriously, though, according to IMDB, she's been working quite a bit. Certainly enough to afford pets.

That said, I still hope she wins because I love her and he sucks.

This is where I am. I'm also suspect of this headline because legal battles are often far more nuanced than headlines indicate, and this sounds like something spun by his PR people.

I'm curious about the amount and how it was calculated but, meh, get it girl.

Who is Ryan Adams? Is he the guy that sang that Robin Hood song?

This is adorable and one of my favorite things ever.

Anyway.

I feel for her - if they adopted those pets together, they have a joint responsibility - he can't just bail on the pets since they aren't together anymore and if they are special needs animals, someone probably would need to be with them, which would affect her ability to work.  And if he can afford it on those terrible Taylor Swift covers, then he fucking should.

Can't she just post on her Facebook voice group that she can't handle her pets anymore and needs to rehome them? This is definitely a new excuse. Not the usual 'I just had a baby and don't want my dog anymore' normal nitwit.

Did it breakdown the 8 pets? Are the majority big Animals like dogs or cats or is it 6 budgies a hamster and a ferret?

I had no idea she voices Sheriff Callie!

Meh. I did the same thing with my XH. I took our dogs since he could barely take care of himself. He made more money as well so it was how I offset my contribution towards the mortgage payment while the house was for sale. Instead of us each paying half, he paid 75% and I paid 25%. "Pet support" was how I got him to agree to that split without going to court.

I suspect they were living on his earnings but he stuck her with all the responsibility after they split. That $37K a month will probably go to the mortgage/rent and some pet sitters.

At first I was thinking the amount seemed low, then I realized it was monthly, not annually. That's about $4600 per pet per month. Assuming every one of them doesn't have some special need, that's high. I have no problem wits the concept though. Maybe she's starting high to negotiate down?

[gardengal]

I can see a couple of things that could start to add up to a large monthly payment.

Like, if the home she could afford doesn't accommodate a herd of pets & would need a bigger place. Or, if in order to work (I'm assuming she has to travel), they'd have to get a full-time pet sitter or something for weeks at a time.

[ringstrue]

I have thoughts on pets that are so sickly they need more than $4K/month in upkeep.

But, between kennels and sitters and camps and whatnot, especially for those who cater to the stars, I can see it racking up fast.

I'm assuming most of these are not cats.

[marriedfilingjoint]

I still don't know who Ryan Adams is. And stay off my lawn, damnit.

[ctrlaltdlt]

I follow them both on instagram and it seems like he's been on tour for like 2 years straight and she's been traveling pretty extensively for charity work this year. So, I assume the pets have needed a lot of full time care- and probably special care since a few of the pets are older- which can definitely get expensive. I'm guessing he just left them and hasn't done much to support them in 2 years, so maybe she's getting more to cover what she's already put out in addition to the future expected costs?

I've seen him storm off stage and freak out at fans in the middle of a song- he's such a douche. #teammandy

She's Sheriff Callie!

I didn't know this. My mind is blown.
