Melissa Etheridge’s Ex: I Can’t Live On $23K A Month

Twenty grand a month or so probably sounds like a nice payout to most average divorcees out there. However, Melissa Etheridge's ex-partner, Tammy Lynn Michaels, isn't one of them. The 37-year-old former actress has filed documents claiming she cannot survive on the $23,000 Etheridge is granting her monthly in child and spousal support.

So, how much money does Michaels need, exactly? Well, according to the paperwork, she explains she became accustomed to a monthly budget of $128,000 during her nearly 9-year relationship with the iconic rocker. Etheridge and Michaels

Michaels also noted that she "has limited income and virtually no savings," while Etheridge "has extensive resources at her disposal and a tremendous earning capacity."

The couple weathered an acrimonious split in April 2010 and share custody of their 5-year-old twins--daughter Johnnie Rose and son Miller. Michaels' most recent court filing also seeks to reduce Etheridge's custodial time with the children, claiming that Etheridge is teaching them to be "distant and withdrawn" to her.

My mind reels at these figures.

     If you look at all the warthog bull dyke celebrities, it's pretty clear they're after the same thing men are: hot thin blonde with big tanks.

     Sorry, Melissa, open up that leathery old...purse of yours and cough up the dough.

I can't fathom spending 120k a month. Apparently someone likes to spend money?

This must be one of those "rights" I keep hearing about.

You wanted to get married, now you get to play by the same rules as everyone else.  Pay up.

Aren't you happy though ?

You fought for gay marriage in California, protested against 'proposition hate' , & now you've got gay divorce. Gotta take the good with the bad, I'm afraid...

I don't think they even got married, I think they only had a commitment ceremony.

That's more than $4,000 a DAY.

Some of the poor guys I get to work with, married 2 or 3 times, would be better off just meeting some gal, buying them a house, give them half their savings and save on the lawyer bills.

You're right - It seems they had the commitment ceremony, they fought against Proposition 8, and the relationship fell apart before it could be overturned & they could 'fully' marry.

Hopefully they learned something from this - Behaving like a primitive ruins relationships. - But judging from the bitching over a 'mere' 23K a month, it seems that at least half of the former couple is still a primitive at heart.

Hopefully Melissa smartened up.

No, Julie Cypher was the 1 that left Lou Diamond Phillips for Melissa, but Julie and Melissa broke up when Julie started questioning her being a lesbian, and Julie is now married to a man.

Amen to that, not to mention having a little left over too travel to the British Open.

I think I could live quite nicely on 23K a month as well.
