    Schwarzenegger now open to paying Shriver support

    LOS ANGELES (AP) — Arnold Schwarzenegger has amended a divorce filing and withdrawn a request that a judge terminate Maria Shriver's rights to spousal support.

    The actor and former California governor's filing replaces a document he submitted last week that also indicated he wanted Shriver to pay her own attorney's fees. The amended response filed Monday in Los Angeles states Schwarzenegger is also willing to pay his estranged wife's attorney.

    The former couple's 13-year-old son has been released from the hospital after a body-boarding accident on June 17 left him with a collapsed lung.

    Shriver filed for divorce July 1. Her petition to end the couple's 25-year-marriage came weeks after Schwarzenegger revealed he fathered a child with a member of his household staff years ago.

      Regardless of how he feels about it now, there was a time when Arnold really wanted to be governor of California.With his reputation with women , he could never have made it without Maria's support.
      There is probably going to be more "love children" to support as well as his kids with Maria.
      So go ahead , Arnold , pay for them all. What else is all that money for?
      You can always make more. Try being a producer, I bet you would be good at it.

        He needed the Kennedy name and she wanted to be 1st lady of CA. They both got what they wanted. Remember that she could have gotten out a long time ago.

        That simply does not justify what he did to her.
    • AuntieSocial1  •  10 mths ago
      Arnold was also known for his role on Green Acres...He's a pig!

        Didnt do anything that 75% + of the men AND women dont do everyday. Granted he had poor taste in his choice to do it with but its not like hes any different from most people.

        Justin I agree !!!!!

      Tempting as it is to make this a gender or revenge thing, I won't. Because I don't think it is. Maria Shriver had successful and no doubt lucrative career, which she had to give up when Arnold decided to run for governor. As another poster had mentioned that he couldn't have won office without her support, which is true. I think it only fair to that he pay a decent settlement and child support. She doesn't need to take him to the cleaners, but he does need to answer for his behavior.

      Hero to zero

        You said it very well! Good one.

        I was a big Arnold fan until all this crap surfaced. The guy really is a lowlife! Sad to say really, I thought Arnold was really special at one time.

        If he's ever in another movie (and I hope he's not) I'll stay away...

      I hate this new Yahoo news page. You don't have enough room, your comments are cut off and you can't easily proofread or edit your comments.
      • Amuse 10 mths ago
        Agreed. But at least they fixed the Most Popular default setting so that it is somewhat conversational again. And i like the mailed updates that let me go back to read the replies!

      She had a broadcast news career, which she gave up in deference to his political career. Can you put a price on that?
    • MiMi  •  10 mths ago
      It is a shame Maria Schwarzenegger that you had to endue all that pain. There will be a light at the end of the tunnel for sure.
    • Haywood Jablomie  •  10 mths ago
      Nice to finally do the right thing. Now hasta la vista, baby!!
    • R S  •  10 mths ago
      Funny how everyone keeps bashing Arnold, yet they forget about the loser known as John Edwards who was FAR WORSE.
    • KC  •  10 mths ago
      He not only used her, but used the people of California as well. While he was running for governor he said he wasn't a womanizer, while the maid was knocked up with his kid. What a creep. Take EVERYTHING you can Maria
    • JYo  •  10 mths ago
      She deserves spousal support. She stopped working when he became Governor and why should she have to downsize her life because he couldn't keep it in his pants.
    • CaptainCrunch  •  10 mths ago
      He's such trash. I'll never watch any movie he ever makes again. There never should have been a question as to whether or not he would pay her spousal support and her attorney fees after what he did to his family.
    • Werebat  •  10 mths ago
      Well, Father's Rights groups have been fighting for years to get Arnold to tone down the grotesquely biased "family" courts in California, well known among their circles as one of the three worst places in North America (the others being Massachusetts and anywhere in Canada) for a man to get dragged through in divorce. He didn't listen to them much then. I'm sure they'll enjoy watching his decisions come home to roost!

      He married Maria to get more famous and get into politics. He used her name.
    • Brown  •  10 mths ago
      Great! the Smegma face should be made to PAY and PAY big!
    • Tori  •  10 mths ago
      She gave up a career for him that's why! When someone completely supports anothers goals like that there should be compensation. Not to mention his goofy butt wouldn't have won the election without his wife's family ties!
    • Popular Joe  •  10 mths ago
      I was so worried about this that I chewed off my own face. Does this mean she doesn't have to go on food stamps now? I want my face back.
    • Princess  •  10 mths ago
      I never liked him or his movies, any money she gets from his she deserves to get.
      He is such a loser, bye!
    • A Thinker  •  10 mths ago
      Arnold proof idiots are still around.

      If he can afford the illegitimate child and his mama, then he can afford the woman who was by his side for all those years.
