Los Angeles, California – Actress Shannen Doherty is facing hurdles in receiving what she believes she is owed during her divorce proceedings due to alleged lack of access to financial records. Doherty, known for her roles in Beverly Hills, 90210 and Charmed, was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in 2020, which has impacted her ability to work and maintain her health insurance.
Court documents reveal Doherty claims her ex-husband, Kurt Iswarienko, is withholding access to financial records regarding his photography work, delaying the process of her receiving spousal support. Doherty expressed her frustration in legal documents, accusing Iswarienko of prolonging the divorce in hopes that she dies before he is required to provide financial support. She highlighted the challenges she faces with diminishing residuals from her past acting projects and the loss of her Screen Actors Guild health insurance due to her health struggles.
In response, Iswarienko’s lawyer disputed Doherty’s claims, stating that a settlement offer was extended to her in October as an attempt to expedite the divorce proceedings and reach a resolution. The legal dispute shines a light on the complexities of divorce cases involving significant financial assets and its impact on individuals dealing with serious health issues. The publicized court battle underscores the challenges many face in navigating financial matters during emotionally charged legal proceedings.
