Corey Feldman's Estranged Wife Cites Unemployment For Wanting More Spousal Support

Corey Feldman's estranged wife, Courtney Feldman, is backing up her claim for spousal support requests amid the ongoing divorce process.

The 34-year-old revealed in court documents that she recently got laid off from her job as a barista and is unemployed while battling a series of health issues.

Corey Feldman filed for legal separation from Courtney Feldman in September 2023 and cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split. He indicated June 22, 2023, as the official date of the separation.

The 34-year-old said she had moved out of their shared home over a year ago and has squatted with friends with zero income to survive. She also stated that she has no vehicle, and Corey has refused to reimburse or assist with her medical expenses.

Her attorney claimed that his client "has borrowed money paid for fees from family members, who, in turn, had to borrow money. She is without funds for necessities of life, much less attorney fees or to hire a forensic accountant."

Courtney questioned the monthly expenses and income summary provided by Corey. According to her lawyer, "It is difficult to 'reconcile' [Corey's] actual income vs. expenses claimed of $16,610-$16,799/month, without wondering how [Corey] can pay those expenses."

PerIn Touch, Courtney's attorney noted that Corey's income and expense declaration showed no monthly rent payment despite stating that he was paying between $4,000 to $5,900 a month in another document.

Courtney's statement is her latest response to a previous counterreply to Corey's request that the court terminate the spousal support she was receiving.

In the previous response, Courtney asked the court to award her $5,000 monthly from Corey's purse and claimed that the $2,000 he had been paying was insufficient to cover her bills.

Her lawyer explained that Courtney offered emotional and career support to Corey since 2011, but he has since abandoned his estranged wife. Additionally, Courtney shared that her ex makes about $280,000 monthly income.

Courtney stated further that her former partner rakes in about $35,000 per fan convention and makes money selling personalized videos to fans on Cameo and was paid $700,000 for a documentary in 2020. 

The entertainer quickly refuted the claims and clarified that he only makes about $2,536 monthly against the $280,000 Courtney claimed.

He said he had around $34,000 in the bank and no other assets, with his monthly expenses totaling $16,799. He also spent around $5,000 on healthcare, $2,000 on groceries, $2,000 on eating out, and $1,000 on laundry.

Auto expenses reportedly gulped $1,500, with $225 going to charitable contributions, $835 on entertainment, and $500 on clothes. Corey also makes monthly payments on debts to the IRS and Capital One.

Corey added that he paid $439 on the credit card debt in October and a $1,600 payment on the IRS debt in November.

The Blast previously shared that Courtney noted that her decision to stop indulging in recreational hard substances weakened the fabric of their marriage. Upon expressing his intention to the actor, she claimed he proceeded to break things off with her. In her words:

"My decision to quit drugs and 'our lifestyle' was the reason our marriage ended. In May 2023, I informed Corey I would not be 'partying' anymore, and further, because of my deteriorating health and increased stress, I would not be going on tour. Once I said no to the drugs our relationship unraveled quickly."

Corey denied that they had lived extravagantly during the marriage, noting that they rented a home with three roommates, and he paid $5,000 for Courtney to qualify as a certified healthcare coach, but instead took a job as a barista and refused to take up a job along her line of experience.

During her petition for temporary spousal support in their marriage dissolution case, the former barista provided text messages from Corey suggesting that he was more than willing to help her recover financially.

"Courtney, I'm sorry to hear U R struggling. Please send me a bill or breakdown of what these medical expenses are, and I'll see what can be done," he began in the text message conversation.

The 53-year-old added: "Unfortunately, this is the worst timing ever, I leave for tour Tom and have no $ at all as I am way over extended. Had to get real bud for this one, and they wanted $ in advance."

Courtney also claimed that Corey made enough cash from marketing and selling toy dolls of himself called "Funko" dolls and his "current band tour for the next several months."

A judge is yet to rule on Courtney Feldman's plea amid her bitter divorce war with Corey Feldman.
