Arnold Schwarzenegger has filed a response to Maria Shriver's divorce petition, and the former couple is at odds over whether Maria should get spousal support.
Arnold's lawyer, Bob Kaufman, checked the box on the legal docs asking the judge to terminate any right on Maria's part to get spousal support. Maria asked for spousal support in her petition.
Arnold -- like Maria -- is asking for joint custody of the couple's two minor children.
And there's another conflict. Maria is asking Arnold to pay for her attorney's fees. Arnold's response asks that the judge make each party foot the bill for their respective lawyers.
There is no prenup, so under California law both Arnold and Maria are entitled to a 50/50 split of all earnings and property accumulated during their 25-year marriage. The two are estimated to be worth around $400 million.
Fact is -- Arnold will get the very expensive family home -- Maria will most likely end up with at least as much, if not more cash than Arnold, so spousal support may become a non-issue ... especially since Arnold isn't earning any real money right now. Soon that will change because Arnold is set to start filming his latest flick "The Last Stand".
