Sean Penn Doesn't Want To Share The Wealth With Robin

Posted by Josh loposer

 

Yesterday, Sean Penn announced that he's leaving Robin Wright Penn in his rearview, and today it comes out that he's not keen on supporting her after the divorce.

This might get ugly. After the completely unshocking announcement that Penn was filing for divorce, The Daily Mail is reporting that Sean has asked the court not to award Robin spousal support. 

"The 48-year-old actor has filed for legal separation from Robin Wright, and asked a US court to waive spousal support.

If his request is granted, Penn would not be obliged to pay a yearly support allowance to his wife, who also has a lengthy film career of her own.

The court documents, filed in Marin County, near San Francisco, on Friday, cite ‘irreconcilable differences’ as the reason for the split and request joint legal and physical custody of their 18-year-old daughter Dylan and 15-year-old son Hopper."

Obviously, Sean hopes to convince the court that Robin can fend for herself, which she can. Still, is Sean trying to stiff the mother of his children? She reportedly scaled back her career in a big way in order to take care of the family while Penn was off screwing around becoming one of Hollywood's biggest stars. 

If the courts waive Robin Wright Penn's spousal support, she'll still Sean will most likely be paying child support -- though possibly only for Hopper. What do you think, is Sean being a total dick?

Why would they fight over the custody of an 18 year old, a legal adult?
