‘Kurt isn’t “just waiting for Shannen to die.” “He wants the best for Shannen and he wants them both to be able to put this case behind them and move forward,” he said.
In response, Doherty said he denied the proposed agreements because they “sidestepped the issues of his original works created during the marriage” and “his ability to generate income.”
In a June 14 filing, the actress requested $15,343 in monthly support ‘retroactive to June 1, 2024.’
He has also asked that Kurt contribute $9,100 to his legal fees.
Doherty stated: ‘As a result of my recurring health problems, I have been largely unable to work and have no future employment prospects. Nowadays, virtually all the income I earn is residual income from the job I did before I got married.’
According to People, Iswarienko’s average annual income over the past three years was $672,916 to spend, leaving “at least” $56,076 per month in spendable spousal support.
For his part, Doherty’s annual average was $259,708, including his work in 2021 and 2022, when he had health insurance.
Shannen says she has earned a little over $25,000 so far this year, which shows a significant decline.

He also racked up nearly $160,000 in legal fees and asked Iswarienko to pay $130,000 in future fees.
She said in her presentation last week: ‘Most of my residual income comes from a TV show called Charmed.
“I recently learned that Charmed will no longer air on any major streaming platforms after June 30, 2024. As a result, my future residual income will decrease dramatically.” It was also noted that the television star has not worked since 2022.
Shannen believes her ex, to whom she was married from 2011 to 2023, has the resources to contribute to her medical expenses.
In 2023 the cost rose to $21,640 and he expects it to ‘increase dramatically’ when he is no longer granted SAG health insurance for not working.
Doherty argued in court papers that Kurt had put his lifestyle above all else.
“Although I have been unable to work, incurring exorbitant medical expenses not covered by insurance to undergo experimental treatments in hopes of prolonging my life, Kurt has been using the plane, spending thousands of dollars at medical spas, jewelry stores, Gucci and on flights for his ‘agent’, while at the same time claiming that he does not have enough funds to support me,” he said.
The artist has alleged that Iswarienko’s agent, Collier Grimm, is also his romantic partner.

“Although Kurt’s income is substantially greater than mine, he has not made any temporary spousal support payments and has not made any contributions to my attorneys’ fees and costs or accounting since the time our divorce suit was filed.” Shannen said.
It was also noted that Iswarienko did not submit the necessary documents to assess his earning capacity, assets and income.
He later filed a Motion to Compel.
The Hollywood veteran has requested another $11,800 from Iswarienko for fees she says she incurred “in her efforts to obtain complete answers from Kurt.”

Doherty shared in the docs, “It is very clear to me that Kurt is intentionally delaying the settlement in the hopes that I will not survive the divorce proceedings.”
First diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015, the Charmed alum underwent a one-time mastectomy in May 2016. It was followed by chemotherapy and radiation therapy treatments.
In 2017, Doherty announced that his cancer was in remission. But in February 2020, she revealed that the cancer had returned in 2019 and that she was at stage four.
