Corey Feldman and Estranged Wife Reach Settlement in Spousal Support Dispute
Corey Feldman and his estranged wife, Courtney Feldman, have reached a settlement to avoid a trial over spousal support. The judge overseeing their divorce announced the agreement after a settlement conference. Corey expressed relief that the difficult process is now behind them and asked for privacy as he focuses on upcoming projects. The settlement comes after Courtney requested an increase in the $3,500 monthly support Corey was providing. The couple married in 2016 and separated in 2023, leading to ongoing disputes over financial support.
Courtney argued that Corey's income from his appearance on Dancing With the Stars warranted a higher support amount, citing reports of contestants earning significant sums. She requested $7,226 per month, retroactive payments, legal fees, and a share of community assets. Corey's publicist defended him, stating that he had supported Courtney financially and provided health insurance since their separation. Corey filed for legal separation in September 2023, listing the date of separation as June 22, 2023. Courtney claimed the marriage deteriorated when she expressed a desire to change her lifestyle.
Corey addressed the divorce allegations in an interview, expressing disappointment over the false claims made during the proceedings. He emphasized that the decision to part ways was due to compatibility issues, similar to many marriages that end. The settlement marks a resolution to the contentious spousal support dispute between Corey and Courtney, allowing them to move forward with their lives.
