Brian Austin Green has responded to his estranged wife's request for a divorce.

More than a month after Megan Fox filed papers in Los Angeles, E! News has uncovered what the Beverly Hills, 90210 alum is asking as proceedings to make their split permanent get underway.

In court documents obtained by E! News, Green follows Fox's lead and cites irreconcilable differences as the reason for the divorce. In fact, the actor's response mimics Fox's divorce filing in almost every category including the desire for joint custody of their two children.

You want equality feminists, then get out the check book.

Go get a job, you bum.

Why is this news? Pure sexism. Aren’t we all equal now?

That is one reason why I am applauding this. Yes he looks weak, but I don’t care because this is what woman have been fighting for and I say good for Brian.

[napscoordinator]

Go get a job, you bum.

You do the same with the lazy woman who demand spousal support I hope.

[Mastador1]

Who are these people and why should I care? How is their situation any more newsworthy than Joe and Jane Does divorce?

[Darksheare]

Good for the goose, good for the gander.
Turnabout is fair play and all that.

I am happily married and have never been divorced so this is all hypothetical for me. However I do not believe that getting married ought to come with any presumption of perpetual financial support should things go awry. It's unjust for a court to declare that a contract is legally severed yet one party (either party) must live on in permanent servitude to the other. Just my $0.02 worth.

Child support is another matter, until a child is grown there is a moral and legal responsibility (for both parents) to provide for that child and I am 100% on board with that.

I saw "Megyn" and "Fox" and instantly thought this was breaking news about Megyn Kelly.
It explained why she was so nasty to Donald Trump the past few months. LOL.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

LOL. This is the only real money that Austin Green will ever get in his life. Better to swallow his pride and ask for it than to be poor and principled after the divorce.

Marriage is indissoluble. Work it out. You worked out the sex and started two kids....finish them!

[Jonty30]

If there are no children to care for, certainly.

What about people who choose to have one person stay home for twenty years and spend all their time and energy raising the children? Then the guy leaves and she is older with no way to get hired????

[NorthstarMom]

No divorce here, either. It seems to me that if a marriage lasts a while, one spouse gives up a career to support the main breadwinner, and the breadwinner is the one seeking a divorce then spousal support is justified. I left a career field that would be all but impossible to return to after the 15 years I have spent caring for my family. If my husband left me I would be in dire straits (not just financially!). We aren’t living high on the hog, but we are at least not trying to live on minimum wage-which is what I am making now (plus tips).

[rcofdayton]

No, under California law he is entitled to this. This is real equality.

[bgill]

Never heard of either of them. Guessing that’s her. Looks like a skank. Ugh. Nasty.

[huldah1776]

Women want equality but in doing so are lowering the standards for men, just like in our military.

[Lee'sGhost]

Rules is rules!
