Arnold Schwarzenegger to File Revised Divorce Papers, Not Denying Spousal Support

Arnold Schwarzenegger will file a revised response to his wife Maria Shriver's divorce petition on Monday that will not ask the judge to deny Shriver's spousal support, according to TMZ.
Earlier this week, Schwarzenegger filed documents asking the judge to force Shriver to pay her own
legal fees and deny her financial support.
Schwarzenegger signed the papers without reading them, in part because he was in the midst of a family medical crisis, unidentified sources told TMZ.
The revision comes in the aftermath of their son's boogie board accident.
A 911 recording captured Maria Shriver's call for help after her 13-year-old son Christopher was injured in a boogie board accident earlier this week.
"He's awake and breathing," Shriver told an emergency operator according to a recording of the call obtained by ABC News Los Angeles station KABC-TV. "He just can't move. He's having trouble breathing."
Christopher, the son of Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger, is expected to make a full recovery after suffering injuries from a boogie board accident on Escondido Beach in Malibu, Calif., on July 17.
On Friday, TMZ.com reported that the teenager has been in the intensive care unit "for days" after enduring "multiple broken bones and a collapsed lung" during a surfing accident.
"It's like a boogie board accident, I think," Shriver said on the recorded emergency call. "He can't move off the beach. Maybe like broken ribs or something like that."
According to a written Los Angeles County Fire Department statement, "L.A. County Fire responded [with] an engine, paramedic squad and lifeguards. ... A male juvenile on the beach was treated for an injury and transported to a local hospital with L.A. County Fire paramedics accompanying the patient."
Since the accident, Shriver and Schwarzenegger have been at their son's side despite their public falling out and divorce.
"A few days ago our son Christopher suffered an accident at the beach," a representative for Shriver said in a statement to ABC News. "While it has been a very scary week, Christopher is surrounded by his family and friends. He is a brave boy and is expected to make a full recovery."
A source close to the family told ABC News that the couple has been "amicable."
"The family remains very close," the source said.
It's been a difficult week for the former couple.
According to TMZ, Schwarzenegger is trying to get out of paying spousal support to Shriver and is fighting her request to make him pay for her attorney's fees. TMZ also reported that they had no prenuptial agreement. Their estimated net worth of $400 million would be split between the two of them.
Shriver and Schwarzenegger have moved on since May, when the former California governor revealed that he fathered a child with another woman while married to Shriver and the couple announced their split.
The other woman was later revealed to be Patricia Baena, a housekeeper who had worked for the family for years.
Earlier this month, Shriver reportedly bought a $10 million home a few miles from the residence she and Schwarzenegger used to share.
Meanwhile, Schwarzenegger is attempting to revive his movie career. He's signed on to star in "Last Stand" as a disgraced Los Angeles cop. The movie is due out in January 2013.

Schwarzenegger to meet former mistress, son

Actor and former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is planning to meet the woman he had an affair with and is hoping to build a relationship with his lovechild Joseph.
The "Terminator" actor has reportedly been talking on the phone with Mildred Patricia Baena, a former member
of the Schwarzenegger family's staff who went into hiding following revelations of their affair. She hasn't even visited her home in Bakersfield, California. "Both families are open to a meeting, it just hasn't happened yet," a source told TMZ. Now when Schwarzenegger's wife Maria Shriver has filed for divorce, the 63-year-old is keen to play an active role in Joseph's life. "Arnold wants to spend time with Joseph and play more of an active role in his life. In a way, Arnold is relieved that he no longer has to hide the fact that he is Joseph's father," said the actor

Arnie, Maria Shriver to split $400m in half after divorce

Washington, July 3: Arnold Schwarzenegger and estranged wife Maria Shriver will split about 400 million dollars after their divorce and each will take half of the property since there is no prenup between them, it has emerged.
Under California law, when there is no prenup, all earnings and other property acquired during the marriage is considered community property, which means a 50/50 split.
Maria filed for divorce Friday and the division of property is yet to be determined.
The former Californian Governor’s worth is estimated at 300 million dollars, while Shriver is around 100 million dollars, reports TMZ.com.
Since the couple has been married for a quarter century and it’s probably impossible to separate what they each had before they tied the knot, it’s likely the entire pot of money will be considered community property.
But the twist is this divorce will never go to trial. It is going to settle out of court, and nothing requires the couple to agree on a 50/50 split.

Actor and former Governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger and his wife of 25 years, Maria Shriver, have separated.
The Los Angeles Times is reporting that the couple confirmed the separation in a joint statement released on Monday when questions were raised about the marriage after Shriver was seen residing separately from Schwarzenegger for the last few weeks.
The statement read, "This has been a time of great personal and professional transition for each of us. After a great deal of thought, reflection, discussion and prayer, we came to this decision together. At this time, we are living apart while we work on the future of our relationship."

The statement continues, "We are continuing to parent our four children together. They are the light and the center of both of our lives. We consider this a private matter and neither we nor any of our friends or family will have further comment. We ask for compassion and respect from the media and the public."
Schwarzenegger, 63, and Shriver, 55, have been married since 1986 and the couple just celebrated their 25th Anniversary on April 26.
The couple has four children together, two girls named Katherine, 21, and Christina, 19, and two boys, Patrick, 17, and Christopher, 13.
Schwarzenegger recently announced that he had signed on to star in three films including another installment of the 'Terminator' series.
The Austrian born actor also is planning to launch a new superhero cartoon and comic book series called 'The Governator' with comic book legend Stan Lee.
